Russia continues its attempts to advance on the frontline despite heavy losses, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The most intense fighting is currently taking place, in particular, in the Pokrovsk direction.
"The fiercest and most intense fighting is taking place in the Pokrovsk direction, as well as in the areas of the Kursk operation and in the border areas of Sumy region. Everywhere, the Russian tactic is the same: they do not count losses and try to advance, storming Ukrainian positions and trying to gain even a meter, anything at all," the head of state said.
According to him, Russia's potential is not unlimited. Therefore, a certain level of losses and Ukrainian activity are holding back the enemy's advance.
The president also separately thanked the units of Ukrainian defenders who are protecting Ukraine.
