Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the country's armed forces are making gains in their counteroffensive.
"Our troops are advancing, position by position, step by step, we are moving forward," he said in his nightly address Sunday.
Zelenskyy's comments come as Ukraine's counteroffensive continues into its third week. Unlike several previous counteroffensives that saw Ukraine recapture an impressive amount of territory relatively quickly, this counteroffensive has been different, with Ukraine recapturing just a handful of settlements and progress expected to be limited by deep Russian defenses.
"Next week, we will have new important communications with our partners, for the sake of our movement, for the sake of weapons, for the sake of our warriors having everything they need," he said Sunday.
