Currently, the situation on the front line is one of the most challenging, particularly due to the new advance of Russian forces in the Kharkiv region, reports President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Reuters.
"Currently the situation at the front is one of the most difficult because a new... Russian offensive has begun in the direction of Kharkiv," Zelenskyy said.
He noted that there is also a very powerful wave of hostilities in the Donetsk region.
"No one even notices that there are actually more battles in the east of the country, specifically in the Donbas direction: Kurakhove, Pokrovsk, Chasiv Yar," the president emphasized.
According to him, the situation is under control today.
"A week ago it was more difficult," Zelenskyy added.
