"Today I started the day with a separate long conversation with Commander-in-Chief Sirsky - we discussed in detail the repulsion of the missile attack, our response against Russia - we are preparing it, the use of F-16s and the ongoing operation in the Kursk region. We continue our actions in the designated areas as necessary for Ukraine," he said.
According to Zelensky, within 24 hours the Ukrainian forces have further expanded the territories controlled by them and have taken new Russian prisoners of war.
