Ukrainian defenders strengthen protection in Lugansk region and gradually liberate Kherson. President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an evening address.

" With the help of tactical movements, the Ukrainian army strengthens protection in the Luhansk region. It's really the toughest right now.. The occupiers are putting pressure on. They are also pressing in the Donetsk direction, in the Kharkiv region,"

Zelensky stressed that the cruel and cynical artillery shelling of the Russian Federation will not give anything to the invaders, but the Russian army is deaf to any rationality. The occupiers simply destroy and kill and show in this way to the command that they allegedly do not stand still.

According to the head of the press center of the security and defense forces of OK " The occupiers have spent significant forces on the arrangement of the second and third defense lines in the temporarily occupied territories of the region, but they are forced to use spare ones, since Ukrainian defenders are pushing out even from them.
