Since September 1 of this year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have liberated more than a thousand square kilometers of Ukraine from the Russian occupation, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“In total, more than a thousand square kilometers of our territory have been liberated since September 1. I am grateful to all Ukrainian warriors, to all those who fight for freedom for our people - both in the south and in the east, those participating in the battles at the front and those who contribute to our victory with respective operations in the rear of the enemy. The liberation of our land is the merit of everyone who clearly and timely fulfills the general defense plan,” Zelensky said in his traditional video address on Thursday evening.
