Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have liberated two villages in the country’s Kherson region: Arkhanhelske and Myrolyubivka. In his daily address to the nation, Zelensky said the following:
Every day, at least twice — in the morning and in the evening — I get reports from our military. This week, most of the reports were devoted to listing villages that have been liberated from the enemy in the course of our defensive operation. The story or the liberation of Lyman, in the Donetsk region, is receiving the most media attention right now. But our soldiers’ success isn’t limited to Lyman. You know, there’s a certain tendency… Recently, someone held some sort of pseudo-referendum somewhere, but when the Ukrainian flag returns, nobody even remembers any Russian charade with paperwork and annexation. Except, of course, for Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. Because every person who was involved in any element of aggression against our country will be held accountable.
