Donbass will be Ukrainian again: Zelenskyy

Meanwhile, as attacks increase in the eastern part of the country, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has promised that Donbass will be “Ukrainian again” as Russian troops press ahead for their so-called liberation of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In his nightly address on Friday, the Ukrainian president asserted that the whole region of Donbas belonged to his administration, including the cities claimed by the invaders. Notably, a British intelligence’s recent report said that Putin’s troops were bolstering attacks on strategically located Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

In his address to the nation, Zelenskyy said that the situation in Donbass is “difficult”, adding that due to this the Russians concentrated maximum reserves and artillery in Donetsk and Luhansk. However, Zelenskyy asserted that his troops were doing everything to protect every inch of the region and that Donbas would soon be “Ukrainian”.
