Step by step we are moving forward: Zelensky on the counter-offensive

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this at a briefing with the prime minister of the Republic of Finland, Petteri Orpo.

According to Zelenskyy, the counter-offensive is complicated by the dense mining of the front. But the military continues to advance.

We see it (counter-offensive - ed.) in several directions. We are moving forward. It's very difficult for us because there is very dense mining. Thousands of mines is what Russia is leaving behind. The most important thing about the trend. The trend is what the military reports to me: we are going constantly and constantly moving forward. Yes, little by little, but the direction is right," the President said.

Recently Socportal reported on the successes of the AFU in Robotino in the Zaporizhzhya region. This village belongs to tactically important settlements, thanks to which Ukrainian troops can bypass the densest Russian mining.

The AFU also liberated the village of Urozhayne in Donetsk Region from the occupants.
