Ukraine says its troops threaten Russians in Donbas
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed there would be no let-up in fighting to regain territory lost to Russia as Kyiv reported its troops had advanced
KYIV— Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed there would be no let-up in fighting to regain territory lost to Russia as Kyiv reported its troops had advanced to the eastern bank of the Oskil River, threatening Russian occupation forces in the Donbas.
Crossing the Oskil is another important milestone in Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region as it flows south to the Siversky Donets River, which goes right through Luhansk, one of two provinces in the Donbas region.
Ukrainian troops “have pushed across the Oskil. From yesterday, Ukraine controls the east bank,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces wrote on Telegram late Sunday.
Serhiy Gaidai, governor of Luhansk region, wrote on Telegram: “Luhansk region is right next door. Decoccupation is not far away.”
Zelenskyy vowed to keep up the pressure on Moscow after Ukraine’s rapid gains in Kharkiv this month.
