President Zelensky thanked the Ukrainian units that are destroying the Russian occupiers, stating the need to disrupt Russia's offensive operations and regain the initiative.
Today is the Day of Infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The event was launched by a presidential decree in 2019. The date of the celebration was chosen in honor of the fact that on May 6, 1648, a turning point occurred in the Battle of Zhovti Vody, as a result of which the Cossack army led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky defeated the Polish army.
In the battles for Moshchun and the Kiev region, the fate of Ukraine and its capital was decided, where the heroism of Ukrainian soldiers and the meanness of the Russian enemy became obvious to the whole world.
President Zelenskyy presented high state awards to the servicemen of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine who destroyed the Russian missile boat Ivanivets in a complex operation using naval drones.
