What Zaluzhnyi says

In his Telegram channel, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that Ukraine's battle continues today, and the tasks of 2022 differ from those of 2024. Therefore, everyone must change and adapt to the new realities.

"I am proud of everyone in the Armed Forces of Ukraine who defend the future of our children. All soldiers, sergeants, and officers. I bow my head to everyone who has given their life for Ukraine and freedom. We remember and will avenge everyone. Ukrainians will definitely win," added the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
