Zelensky said he had no right to disclose details of the current special forces operation.

He only heard the commander’s report and spoke to the troops, praising their performance.

Ukraine last month began a counterattack after stockpiling Western weapons and building up its offensive forces.

However, Kyiv acknowledged the battle was difficult and asked the United States and other allies to provide long-range weapons and artillery.

Ukrainian authorities say Kyiv troops are gradually advancing near the town of Bakhmut which Russian troops captured in May 2023.
