"The main thing is Kharkiv region. Today, Russian troops tried to expand operations against Ukraine. We understand the scope of the occupier's forces, we see his plan. Our soldiers, our artillery, our drones are responding to the occupier. We are sending more troops to the Kharkiv direction. Both along our state border and along the entire front line, we will invariably destroy the occupier in such a way as to disrupt any Russian offensive intentions.
Today, the Chief of Staff reported to me both in the morning and in the evening, and I am in constant contact with the Minister of Defense - we are providing everything necessary to protect our positions. It all depends on the resilience of our soldiers, and everyone who holds their ground now is holding the ground for the whole of Ukraine.
It is important for our partners to support our soldiers and Ukrainian resilience with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the announcement of the package," Zelenskyy said.
