Despite the aggression and destruction inflicted by Russian troops in Ukraine, Zelensky says that his military isn’t giving up, with his government remaining ready for a full-scale battle.
As Kremlin forces head towards Ukraine’s east, the governor of Ukraine’s Donetsk region has spoken of fierce fighting there – stating tha “the battles are continuing all day, every day”.
In an interview with the BBC, Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko says hostilities were particularly intense on the demarcation line, separating territory controlled by the Ukrainian government from territory occupied by Russian forces or those allied to them, including rebels.
The governor says Ukrainian forces in the region had “massively reinforced” themselves with the aid of military equipment sent by Western nations like the United States, reiterating the point that any help to Ukraine was “very important at the moment”.
