00:01. President Zelensky called for speeding up arms deliveries
In his evening speech, President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Western partners to speed up deliveries of weapons and ammunition, the Ukrainska Pravda website reported on Sunday.
The President of Ukraine first of all called on the United States, Great Britain and France to speed up the supply of weapons and ammunition. He drew attention to the fact that the Ukrainian army is successfully fighting the Russian aggressor, although the situation at the front is difficult, especially in the area of Toretsk and Pokrovsk, where the Russians are constantly trying to break through the Ukrainian defense lines.
Our units, our brigades are doing everything to maintain their positions. Thank you to everyone who contributes to this.
– President Zelensky noted.
According to the President of Ukraine, the main task at the moment in the course of the defense operations carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces is to destroy, as far as possible, the Russian military potential and conduct effective counterattacks.
Volodymyr Zelensky drew attention to the particular importance of the current operation of Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, which – as he emphasized – “aims to create a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory.”
