Destruction of Russian targets in border regions ‘really matters’, says Zelenskyy
The destruction of Russian targets in border regions “really matters”, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said as he praised world leaders for their determination to protect Ukraine,
Delivering his nightly address, the Ukrainian president said: “The destruction of Russian terrorists’ positions and launchers by our forces, our warriors, near the border really matters.
“We witness the world’s determination opening new prospects for restoring our security. Among other things, this includes the security of Kharkiv.”
His comments come after Ukraine claimed responsibility for an overnight drone attack on a Russian oil facility.
The strike caused a massive blaze in Russia’s Rostov region and marked the latest long-range attack by Kyiv’s forces on a border region.
Ukraine has in recent months stepped up aerial assaults on Russian soil, targeting refineries and oil terminals, in an effort to slow down the Kremlin’s war effort.
At the same time, Moscow’s army has been pressing hard along the front line in eastern Ukraine, where a shortage of troops and ammunition has made defenders vulnerable.
