“The situation in the east is very difficult, painful,” RIA Novosti quoted the President of Ukraine. At the same time, he assured that everything possible is being done to survive.
As for the southern direction, according to Zelensky, the situation there is “quite dangerous.”
We will remember, earlier Zelensky said that the Ukrainian troops did not intend to defend Bakhmut (the Russian name is Artemovsk) at all costs and to the last soldier. He noted that this is a small city and the Ukrainian Armed Forces will fight there “as long as it is reasonable.”
