The Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out two successful offensive operations, during which territories were liberated.
President Volodymyr Zelensky made this statement during a briefing with the media, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
“We had, in principle, two strong offensive operations that resulted in the de-occupation of Ukrainian territory. The main thing is not just de-occupation; the main thing is restoring our positions, securing high ground, gaining control over positions, and many other things. Both operations were successful,” Zelensky said.
