Volodymyr Zelenski talks about the number of liberated settlements in the south

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an evening address on 10 November.

The President said:

There is good news from the south today. The number of Ukrainian flags that are being returned to their rightful place as part of the ongoing defence operation is already in the dozens. 41 localities have been liberated.

Zelensky thanked all our heroes who ensure this advance:

Armed Forces, intelligence, special services - all of them. I will especially mention the fighters of the 28th separate mechanized brigade, the 46th airborne assault brigade, the 60th separate infantry brigade and the 128th separate mountain assault brigade. Those who are implementing the offensive. Thank you, guys!

Zelensky added that the National Police forces are immediately following the soldiers into the liberated areas:

Today the police entered Kalinovskoye, Bobrovy Kut, Yevgenyivka, Kotsyubinskoye and Snegirivka. Stabilization activities have begun there.

Volodymyr Zelensky stressed:

Everything that is happening now has been achieved by months of brutal struggle. It has been achieved by courage, pain and losses. It is not the enemy coming - it is the Ukrainians who are driving the occupiers away at great cost. As in the east of our country - in Kharkiv region, as before in the north - Kyiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions, so now - in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.
