KYIV - Ukrainian forces are advancing in southern sectors of their counter-offensive against Russian occupation troops, Ukrainian military officials said on Friday.
“Every soldier, every new step we take, every metre of Ukrainian land freed from the enemy is of utmost importance,” Mr Zelensky said in his nightly video message. Deputy Ukrainian Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app that troops were “engaged in active moves to advance in several directions at once.
