Despite the war, we didn’t give up on life, he added.
Zelenskyy also urged the US and other NATO member states to supply heavy weapons against Russia and help Ukraine to liberate territories occupied during the war.
Moreover, a Ukrainian official has said that the country’s southern region of Kherson, which fell to Russian troops early in their February invasion, would be recaptured by September.
“We can say that the Kherson region will definitely be liberated by September, and all the occupiers’ plans will fail,” Serhiy Khlan, an aide to the head of the Kherson region, said in an interview with Ukrainian television.
He said that the Ukrainian army supported by Western-supplied long-range artillery has been regaining territories in the southern Kherson region in recent weeks.
“We can say that a turning point has occurred on the battlefield. We see that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are prevailing in their most recent military operations,” Khlan said.
However, recent reports reveal that Russia has targeted several structures at the Odesa port which Ukraine said has a civilian seaport.
Whereas, Russia’s foreign ministry has said that it targeted a military boat and weapons delivered by the US in the port of Odesa on Saturday with high-precision long-range missiles.
