Zelensky: The Battle for Donnetsk Continues

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has used his night speech to give a update on fighting in the eastern region of Donnetsk.

The hard fight for Donnetsk continues”, he said.

The Battle for Bakhmut and Soledar, for the Kremlin, for the cities and other villages east of our country continues”.

This comes after the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces denied that Soledar, a town in Donetsk, had fallen to Russia.

Zelensky's speech followed a speech to the Lithuanian parliament earlier Friday, where he said the coming months would result from “settlers” for Ukraine's combat efforts.
