Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy helped raise his nation's flag in a city recently controlled by Russian troops.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the recently retaken city of Izium on Wednesday, greeting soldiers and thanking them for their efforts in retaking the area, as the Ukrainian flag was raised in front of the burned-out city hall building.
“The view is very shocking but it is not shocking for me," Zelenskyy said in brief comments to the press,"because we began to see the same pictures from Bucha, from the first de-occupied territories … so the same destroyed buildings, killed people.” “Our soldiers are here. That’s a very important thing. It supports people,” Zelenskyy said. “I see how people meet them, in what a sensitive moment. It means that with our army, the life comes back.”
The Institute for the Study of War said the Oskil River appeared to be becoming the new front line in the area after Kyiv’s significant gains in recent days.“Ukrainian forces are continuing localized ground assaults to threaten Russian positions behind the Oskil River,” the institute said.
