Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, said that the current situation in Ukraine should not be seen as Russia taking an “operational pause”, as Russian forces have carried out 34 airstrikes in Ukraine today alone. Source: Zelenskyy in a video address Quote from Zelenskyy: “Last week, there was a lot of talk about the so-called ‘operational pause’ that the occupiers were supposedly doing in Donbass and other regions of Ukraine. The 34 airstrikes carried out by Russian aircraft [on the territory of Ukraine – ed.] only today should be a clear answer to all who talk about this “pause”. The Ukrainian army is holding, holding firmly and repelling Russian attacks on different fronts. And yet much remains to be done to ensure that Russia’s losses actually give it pause. And I don’t mean a pause before the invaders can renew their attack, but a pause before they leave our homeland, Ukraine. And I’m grateful to all of our soldiers who are making sure that time gets closer and closer.”
