Now all of us in Ukraine should act as unitedly and efficiently as we did in the first weeks and months of this war, when Ukraine took the initiative and began to turn the situation to the benefit of our state,
Russian authorities will likely remain extremely averse to pulling Russian military units engaged in combat from (Donetsk) and will likely continue deploying limited numbers of irregular forces to Kursk … due to concerns about further slowing the tempo of Russian operations in these higher priority directions,
When explosions started near the city, when people were dying and when all this started happening before our eyes … and when it affected people personally, they stopped at least openly supporting
Ukraine is defending itself and the lives of its people in border communities while also taking active steps on Russian territory,

Over the weekend, it seems like more Russian forces, including some pulled from inside Ukraine, have started arriving and may have now halted further Ukrainian advances, but it's not been a particularly impressive response yet.
Zelensky's goals with the incursion into Russian territory are becoming clearer with time
It has become too loud, I’m scared for the children, they need to live a normal life,
What the Russian forces are doing in Ukraine amounts to genocide and inhumane crimes,
