The enemy has intensified its efforts on the Kherson axis, Ukrainian forces have the Russian forces' attempts to advance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said on Friday.
"In general, we see the intensification of the occupier's efforts on the Kherson axis. I would like to thank the units that stand in defense of our positions there. They repelled Russians' attempts to advance there," he said in an evening video address.
Commander-in-Chief of the armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky reported on the situation in Donetsk region, on the Zaporizhia axis, and on the Kursk operation. According to the president, there are "more and more destroyed North Korean soldiers" there.
"And it is indicative that Russia is trying to pass off these North Korean soldiers as representatives of national communities living on the territory of Russia. This is Moscow's complete disregard for indigenous peoples and for the Koreans themselves as well," the Ukrainian head of state emphasized.
