Ukrainian defenders can surprise and achieve results. The proof is their actions on the battlefield, says President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the presentation of the Army+ app.

“Everyone sees that the Ukrainian army can surprise. And it can achieve results. This is shown on the battlefield, where our warriors have not only withstood the overwhelming force of the occupiers but are destroying it in a way that is necessary to defend Ukraine – our state and independence,” the president said.

He added that the courage of the soldiers and the natural desire of Ukrainians to find the best course of action contributed to the success of the Armed Forces.
