President Volodymyr Zelensky once again called for accelerating weapons and ammunition deliveries. In his Sunday speech, he emphasized the significance of the ongoing operation conducted by Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk region, which, as he highlighted, "aims to create a buffer zone on the aggressor's territory."

The President of Ukraine strongly appealed for the acceleration of weapon and ammunition deliveries, primarily from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.

He also pointed out that the Ukrainian army is achieving success against the Russian aggressor despite the difficult situation at the front, especially in the Toretsk and Pokrovsk regions, where the Russians constantly attempt to break through Ukrainian defensive lines.

"Our units, our brigades are doing everything possible to hold their positions. I thank everyone who is contributing to this," emphasized President Zelensky.

"Buffer zone on the aggressor's territory"

According to the President of Ukraine, the primary objective of the ongoing defensive actions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces is to destroy as much as possible of the Russian war potential and to effectively conduct counterattacks.

Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the importance of the ongoing operation conducted by Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk region, which, as he highlighted, "aims to create a buffer zone on the aggressor's territory."
