According to his forecast, the Russian army will lose tens of thousands of its soldiers this month alone.
We have identified steps and means to strengthen the Sloviansk and Kostiantynivka areas. I want to thank all our units that are destroying the occupier, countering Russian assaults and Russian "infiltration." I expect that now, in August, there will be no fewer than 30,000 occupiers eliminated
He emphasized that the key issue remains the financing and technological provision of the military.
"The technological sophistication of our army and our defense operations must continue to grow. And only in this way. Thanks to all the decisions made last autumn, we were able in winter and in spring this year to transition to a significantly more technologically advanced defense," - Zelenskyy summed up.
Reminder
According to Kyiv Independent, Kyiv privately informed U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that Russia will not be able to capture the remaining parts of Donetsk region controlled by Ukraine even in 2027.
