President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Kupyansk. Before that, he was in Pokrovsk, reports UNN.
"Today I am at the front. Now I am in Kupyansk. I have already been in Pokrovsk. In our brigades. I congratulated the boys and girls - our soldiers - on Sergeant's Day. Sergeants are the warriors without whom it is impossible to imagine the normal work of officers and our units in general. I am grateful to all sergeants who are truly an example for a soldier. The strength of our entire Ukrainian army is the people who serve, who serve faithfully and steadfastly," Zelensky said.
Today, he honored the best warriors - those who proved themselves in combat - with state awards.
"I listened to the reports of our commanders. I also received reports on the security situation and the social situation in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. We are holding our positions! I thank the soldiers," Zelensky said.
Addendum
On November 15, Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles battalion of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after Ivan Sirko, reported that there were no Russians in Kupyansk on the left bank. The situation is very difficult, but controlled by the Defense Forces.
