Enemy hasn’t succeeded in any strategic direction – Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that all Ukraine’s defense lines have remained intact, and Russian troops have not succeeded in any strategic direction over a week.

"We stand so firmly that the occupiers were forced to change their tactics. Russia's missile and bomb strikes on Ukrainian cities are a confession that they have failed to do anything significant on our land. All our defense lines have remained intact, the enemy has not succeeded in any strategic directions. They [Russian military] are depressed, they are doomed," Zelensky said in a video address, Ukrinform reports.

On February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, conducting massive attacks on residential districts of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.

Ukraine officially filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation at the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague. International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan initiated the start of investigation into the situation in Ukraine.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of all Ukrainian people, courageously resist the Russian aggression.
