Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he visited troops in the village of Robotyne, on the southern front line. Robotyne was recaptured by the Ukrainians last summer, one of the only real advances in the counter-offensive.
Since then, the small village has been attacked relentlessly and is one of main hotspots on the south-eastern front. “I have the great honor to be here today to reward you, because you have a difficult and decisive mission on your shoulders to repel the enemy and win this war,” he told fighters.
