Russian troops find it increasingly difficult to hold their ground as the Ukrainian Armed Forces launch targeted strikes. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky during the traditional evening address..

“The Armed Forces of our state were able to inflict significant logistical losses on the invaders. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Russian army to hold positions in the occupied areas. Step by step, we are moving forward, breaking supplies for infidels, identifying and neutralizing collaborators,” he said..

According to the President, as of today, 1028 settlements have been liberated from the invaders.. Another 2621 are still under the control of the invaders.

“The prospect is obvious: the Ukrainian banner will be in all our cities and villages. The question is only time. And while this time goes on, while Russia can still destroy life in Ukraine, as it is today - with strikes on Nikopol, on Toretsk, on the cities of Kharkiv region, do not forget to support our people in the occupied areas with information and emotional support,"

According to him, Russia keeps most of them in an information vacuum.. Every day they accuse the occupied territories of new lies about Ukraine and our actions.. But, despite propaganda and intimidation, people not only do not forget about Ukraine, but also demonstrate what they really think and what they strive for..

He appealed to all Ukrainians who have the opportunity and contacts in the occupied territories with a request to convey real information to people, support and spread the truth..

" Throughout our Ukrainian land from Kherson to Gorlovka, from Genichesk to the occupied regions of Kharkiv region, in Melitopol and Berdyansk, in Energodar, in Luhansk and Donetsk regions, in Crimea, our people should hear about Ukraine from Ukrainians,"

Recall, on July 18, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the stabilization of the situation at the front.
