President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky assured that Russian troops will not be able to take the cities of Liman and Severodonetsk from Ukraine, Donbass will remain Ukrainian. He stated this in his evening address..

According to the President, the situation in the east of our state is now very difficult..

“The occupiers are trying to achieve at least a hundred days of war the goals that they hoped to realize already in the first days after February 24. Therefore, they concentrated maximum artillery, maximum reserves in Donbass. There are missile strikes and aviation - everything,"

He noted that Ukraine is protecting its land to the extent that the current defense resource allows, and added: “We are doing everything to strengthen it. And we will intensify.

“If the invaders think that Liman and Severodonetsk will be theirs, then they are mistaken. Donbass will be Ukrainian. Because this is us, this is our essence. And even if Russia brings destruction and suffering everywhere, we will still restore every city and every bulk. And there is and will not be any real alternative to our Ukrainian flags,” the head of state stressed..
