President reported intense military activity in Ukraine, with “fierce battles” and “extremely difficult” circumstances in certain regions. Despite these challenges, he emphasized the importance of resilience and the need to “hold its ground.” He expressed concerns about Russian psychological warfare and advised the public to remain skeptical of sensational news. Villages in the region have transitioned from contested to active conflict zones, with Russian forces using them to push further into Ukrainian territory. Defensive operations continue along the border and in the Donetsk sector, while the Kharkiv region faces significant strategic challenges. President called for heightened counteroffensive measures and urged the nation to rely on verified news sources. He reiterated the need for continued support to ensure that Ukrainian fighters are well-equipped to defend their country.
According to President , Russian forces are not only trying to establish positions in these areas but also using them to push further into Ukrainian territory. He detailed ongoing defensive operations along the border and in the Donetsk sector, which remains equally intense. President highlighted the strategic challenges in the Kharkiv region, where Russian tactics aim to stretch Ukrainian defences thin and weaken their morale. He acknowledged the dire situation in Vovchansk, which is under “constant Russian fire,” and praised Ukrainian forces for their steadfastness and efforts to inflict maximum losses on Russian troops.
In light of recent Russian successes, including the capture of nine villages in a new ground assault, President called for heightened counteroffensive measures. He underscored the importance of trusting the Ukrainian Defense Forces and urged the nation to rely on verified news sources over rumors. The Ukrainian President’s call to action follows a sudden cross-border attack by Russian forces, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. This offensive led to the evacuation of hundreds of civilians from areas close to the frontlines.
In his concluding remarks, President reiterated the critical need for continued support from both international partners and domestic production to ensure that Ukrainian fighters are well-equipped to defend their country.
