“I am grateful to Oleksandr Syrsky and to every one of our soldiers for Ukraine’s strong front-line positions. I am grateful to Mykhailo Drapaty for precisely this kind of outlook,” Zelensky said.
“A significant path has been walked, Ukraine’s defense continues, and every soldier deserves proper respect,” Zelensky said. “I am grateful to Oleksandr Syrsky and to every one of our soldiers for Ukraine’s strong front-line positions,” he continued.
