Ukraine’s goal is to thwart Russia’s attempt to expand the war

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that Russian troops advancing in the Kharkov region are trying to expand the combat zone. He said this in a video message following the 810th day of a full-scale war.

According to Zelensky, the Ukrainian military in the Kharkov region is carrying out counterstrike operations. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have strengthened the Kharkov direction, including Volchansk and the border areas in general. “Now our results are becoming more and more,” said the President of Ukraine, noting that troops are destroying Russian infantry and equipment, quoting “Medusa».

Zelensky added that the intention of the Russian military is to delay the forces of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian military, according to him, is not going to leave Donetsk and other areas without support.

“Our task is absolutely clear – to thwart the Russian attempt to expand the war. The fulfillment of this task depends on literally everyone who is currently in positions now – from Chernigov to Volchansk, from Kharkov to Donetsk region,” Zelensky said. He noted that for Russian troops “there should not be a single safe place on Ukrainian soil.”
