Details: Zelenskyy noted that Russian forces have intensified attempts to launch offensives this week, taking advantage of more favourable weather conditions.

"As a result, the only tangible outcome for the Russian army has been an increase in their losses – more than 8,000 killed and seriously wounded Russian soldiers in just these seven days," Zelenskyy said.

He also said some Russian brigade commanders have been replaced as a punishment for false reporting in official briefings.

Quote: "In Donetsk Oblast, our positions have not significantly changed over the past week. In Kharkiv Oblast and in border communities of Sumy Oblast, we are observing attempts by the occupier to advance from the border – Russian units carrying out these attempts are being destroyed. On the Oleksandrivka front, active operations by our assault and airborne units continue – I thank every warrior.

We also specifically noted the accuracy of our deep strikes and outlined the framework for future action. I approved a number of new operations."
