The Ukrainian military controls all the entrances to the Kharkiv region, the work of the occupation troops, heavy equipment and all enemy offensives. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with the French news agency AFP, an UNN correspondent reports.
The situation is under control. I say this because we control all the enemy's entrances to the Kharkiv region, the work of their troops, heavy equipment, and all offensive actions. Today we control
At the same time, he noted that it is impossible to say that everything is stabilized today.
The issue is that when we entered, the military had questions, because they had a powerful electronic warfare system and technically we had questions. It was a fairly serious operation, and it continues. So we cannot say today that everything is stabilized. It will not be 100% true because there are still things going on
The President said that Ukraine believes that there may be some waves, as there are relevant intelligence intercepts.
We believe that there may be some waves, because there are various intercepts, intelligence is working, but nevertheless, the situation is under control and the situation is better than it was on the first day of their entry, because we have strengthened in that direction
