Zelensky: Russia trying to step up assault

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that the situation on the frontline is "currently quite tense" and that the Russian military is "trying to step up its assault activity", AzerNEWS reports.

However, he claimed that it is not disrupting Ukrainian operations and that it is instead suffering "higher losses."

Following a report by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi, Zelensky said Russia has "failed to achieve its objectives" in Sumy, Kharkiv and Donetsk and is "pushing back its timelines." Zelensky also noted that he discussed strikes deep into Russian territory with Syrskyi.
