Zelensky’s direct speech: “We hold on and fight thanks to the courage of our warriors and our mind.

We do not leave people to die, for us people are a treasure, this is the most important thing that we have.

There are no misunderstandings. I clearly understand what is happening in Bakhmut. And we all clearly understand why all this is being done.

I cannot share with you the tactical views of our military… but we understand that a little more, and we will win.

Today, the military perform very important tasks, they are in Bakhmut, at what points – I will not share, but this suggests that Bakhmut has not been captured by the Russian Federation today. There can be no two or three interpretations of this.

Reference: Journalists asked for clarification on Zelensky’s answer, as the president replied on Sunday morning that Bakhmut had not been captured by the occupiers, but the mainstream international media thought he had said that “the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not control Bakhmut.”
