Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited troops on the southeastern front line on Wednesday, where Kyiv claims recent successes against Russian forces. The visit involved presenting medals to soldiers. Ukraine announced earlier this month that it had recaptured around 26 villages across three eastern and southern regions, though AFP could not independently confirm this.
At the Oleksandrivsky sector, Zelenskyy collaborated with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapaty, discussing drone and artillery supplies, AWOL issues, and the training and motivation of Ukrainian soldiers. The Ukrainian army, four-and-a-half years into a relentless war with Russia, has struggled with desertions and conscription issues.
This year, however, Kyiv managed to stabilize the front, now heavily influenced by swarms of drones that make troop movements difficult. Russia currently occupies nearly one-fifth of Ukraine.
