Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Ukrainians with a traditional speech, where he once again emphasized the support of the fighting spirit and the losses of our enemy.
Comment: «Our army is doing everything to break the enemy completely. Almost nine thousand Russians were killed! In one week! In the Mykolaiv direction invaders have to take away the “two hundred” and “three hundred” with tens of helicopters. 19 years, 20 years … What did they see in life, apart from this invasion? But most of them remain everywhere. Ukraine does not want to be covered with military corpses. Go home. Your whole army. Tell your commanders that you want to live. Not to die. To live. The war must be stopped and peace restored as soon as possible».
