President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that Ukrainian forces had reduced the potential of Russian troops to launch attacks in Donetsk region on the eastern front of the more than 2 1/2-year-old war.
Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address after conferring with commanders, said the military was doing its utmost “for the resilience of our battle brigades”.
“At this time, the Ukrainian Defence Forces have managed to diminish the occupiers’ assault potential in Donetsk region,” he said.
