Kyiv: As the Russian troops make significant gains in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed to include Donbas a part of Ukraine again.
Speaking during his nightly address on Friday, the President called the current situation in Donbas “very critical”.
He said, “That’s why we have to increase our defense, increase our resistance, and Donbas will be Ukrainian again. Even if Russia will bring all suffering and ruination to Donbas, we will rebuild every town, every community. There’s no real alternative.”
According to CNN, the US Defence Department has said that Russia is continuing to make “incremental gains” in Donbas.
On Ukraine’s request for multiple launch rocket systems to counter Russian attacks, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said that “decisions… haven’t been made yet.”
