Zelensky said this during an evening address posted on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"Today I spoke with the Commander-in-Chief about the situation in general. A very significant result is that the Russian army failed to implement their "Kharkiv operation". We are now restraining them as much as possible and destroying Russian units that enter our land and terrorise the Kharkiv region. The direction is intensified. And it will be further strengthened," Zelensky said.

According to him, there was also a report on the Donetsk area, where it is most difficult.

"I would also like to recognise our units that have proved themselves best in combat this week. Kharkiv direction - the 36th separate marine brigade and the 92nd separate assault brigade. Thank you! In Donetsk region, I thank all the soldiers and commanders of the 55th separate artillery brigade. They are always effective!" - Zelensky stressed.

"And our soldiers of the Security Service of Ukraine - the Special Operations Centre "A", the departments of counterintelligence and military counterintelligence. Thank you! Every unit of destroyed Russian equipment, every Russian loss is a plus to the guarantees of our Ukrainian independence," Zelensky said.
