Zelensky Raises Alarm Over Russian Attempts to Halt Kyiv's Troops

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of Russia's efforts to halt Kyiv's troops in their counter offensive to reclaim eastern and southern Ukraine. While a top general reported progress on the southern front, Ukrainian military analysts noted the challenges faced by Ukrainian forces in advancing southward. The focus has been on capturing villages in the southeast towards the Sea of Azov and areas near Bakhmut. Russian accounts claimed repelling Ukrainian attacks in the Donetsk region. Zelensky emphasized the determination and gratitude for every success, while the situation remains difficult in advancing towards Berdiansk.
