Following a detailed meeting of Ukraine’s defence staff, focussing on the frontline situation, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated: “We must all understand very clearly – as clearly as possible – that the Russian forces on our southern and eastern lands are investing everything they can to stop our warriors. And every thousand meters of advance, every success of each of our combat brigades deserves gratitude. Everyone who goes on the offensive, everyone who repels enemy attacks, are doing a great job, and I am grateful to each of our warriors!”
He also reported on his online participation in a U.S. conference with the heads of the largest and most promising global companies and major philanthropists. “Investments, jobs in Ukraine, support for our country and people… Ukrainians have now realized the enormous potential of our country… when we end the war, Ukrainian potential must be invested in Ukrainian development. The world is waiting with great interest to see what this development will be like, what the victorious Ukraine will bring to the world.”
