Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently addressed the media in Munich, providing updates on the battlefield situation in the Pokrovsk area of eastern Donetsk. Zelensky expressed optimism about the recent improvements in the area, stating that the Ukrainian military's position has strengthened in Pokrovsk. While not divulging specific details, he emphasized that the troops are now more confident than before.
One notable development is a Ukrainian counterattack to the south of Pokrovsk, believed to be a strategic move aimed at preventing Russian forces from encircling the vital hub. Zelensky also touched upon the incident involving a Russian drone allegedly targeting the former Chernobyl nuclear plant. He condemned the act, labeling it as a terrorist act due to the drone flying at a low altitude to evade detection by radars. Zelensky suggested that the deliberate low flight was indicative of malicious intent on the part of the Russians.
Furthermore, Zelensky expressed his views on Russian President Vladimir Putin's stance on peace, asserting that Putin does not desire peace. He speculated that the recent attack on the Chernobyl plant could be a result of Putin feeling comfortable enough to engage in such actions. Zelensky implied that a desire for dialogue and an end to the conflict would deter such aggressive moves.
