“I don’t think that, for now, Kharkiv is so protected that I can advise people to return,” he said in a video message posted on the Telegram channel.
Even strengthening air defense, Zelensky added, will not significantly improve the city’s security situation.
Previously, the Ukrainian leader stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would not be able to defend Kharkov. According to him, this will happen if it is not possible to push the Russian forces “to a greater distance.”
