Ukrainian soldiers in the south and east are actively destroying the enemy, physically clearing Ukraine, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video message on Tuesday.

"Protection against terror means the destruction of terrorists. And it is a guarantee that the evil state will never again have the opportunity to bring evil to Ukraine," he said.

Zelenskyy also expressed condolences to the families and friends of the rescuers who died on Tuesday in Kherson region.

"Eight SES workers were injured, one, unfortunately, was killed. My condolences to their families and friends! Ukrainian warriors will definitely give the terrorists a response to all this meanness," he said.

He said that "every such Russian strike, every Russian terrorist attack is an argument that the occupiers have no chance of staying anywhere on Ukrainian soil. There is no place here for murderers and terrorists and there will never be."
