After a visit to the border region with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy once once more underlined the strength of the Ukrainians in the face of the ongoing threat from Moscow. “The threat is constant, our border is constantly being shelled,” he said on Tuesday in his evening video address regarding the impressions of his visit to the Sumy region in north-eastern Ukraine. “But life and our people are obviously stronger than all fears.”
During his visit to the Sumy region, Zelenskyi met with the commanders of the border troops deployed there. “The strong positions along the entire border with the terrorist state (Russia) are a result of the strength of our people, who are ready to defend the border at any time,” said Zelenskyy. In the north-east, Ukrainian border troops are shielding a several hundred-kilometre stretch of the common border with Russia in order to prevent Russian units from penetrating there.
