Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has left for Kupyansk after the successful operation of the Defense Forces, APA reports.

Zelenskyy shared a video filmed at the entrance to the city of Kupyansk on his Telegram channel.

“Today, in the Kupyansk direction, I met our fighters who have achieved results here for Ukraine. The Russians talked a lot about Kupyansk — and we see the result. I was here and congratulated the guys. I thank every unit fighting here and everyone who is destroying the occupier,” the Ukrainian leader said.

Zelenskyy emphasized that achieving results on the battlefield is extremely important for Ukraine to achieve results in diplomacy.

It was reported that President Zelenskyy was 1.15 km away from Russian positions and 500 meters from the “gray zone.”

Note that on November 20, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov reported to President Vladimir Putin that Kupyansk had been taken under control.
