Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelensky reached the eastern front in Kupyansk where the command post of the battalion of the 14th mechanized brigade is located.
This was announced on the website of the Ukrainian Presidency.
Zelenky's visit to the front is the first since the Russian army managed to conquer Avdiivka two days ago.
The head of state met with the military and awarded medals to the Ukrainian defenders.
“I am happy to be here today to see you, to congratulate you, to express gratitude on behalf of all Ukrainians, of all Ukraine,” he said.
