In his daily address, the Ukrainian leader indicated that "defensive actions continue" in the Kharkiv border region, where Russian troops have launched an offensive with thousands of soldiers in recent days.
"Throughout the day, our Defense Forces and Security Forces of Ukraine - all units involved - managed to partially stabilize the situation," he said.
Zelensky described that the Russian army "is being destroyed with all available means", referring to the use of artillery, 'drones' and infantry "with great precision".
At the same time, he stressed that "the same attention is given to all other directions" and pointed to the fronts of Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk region, and Kupyansk, in the Kharkiv region.
"We clearly see how the occupier is trying to distract our forces and make our combat work less concentrated. We are reacting to this exactly as we should: we must have the means to retaliate against the enemy in all directions", he continued.
In his speech, Zelensky also stressed that the outcome of the Ukrainian forces "depends on each soldier, each sergeant and each officer who is directly in his positions, in combat, on the front line" and said that "the full fulfillment of the combat tasks in the current conditions must disrupt the Russian offensive plans".
Conversely, Russian President Vladimir Putin had earlier today praised the progress made by the army on all fronts in Ukraine, after his troops claimed to have taken several locations in the Kharkiv region.
"Our troops are constantly improving their positions in all directions, every day," Putin said during a meeting with senior officers and the new defense minister, Andrei Belousov, broadcast on Russian television.
Russia claimed this morning to have captured two locations, Glibokie and Lukiantsi, in the Kharkiv region and also "deep advances in enemy defenses", the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
These two villages, very close to the border with Russia, are located south of several locations already conquered in recent days, and north of Kharkiv, the capital of the province of the same name and the second largest Ukrainian city.
In view of the Russian offensive on this new front since Friday, the Ukrainian president ordered the sending of reinforcements to Kharkiv and canceled all commitments abroad in the coming days, including planned trips to Spain and Portugal.
