Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in the late-night address that Russia is using all of its weapons in the Donbas battle.
“The situation in Donbas is extremely difficult,” Zelenskyy said in a video address. “In fact, all the strength the Russian army still has was thrown there to attack. Lyman, Popasna, Severodonetsk, Slovyansk - the occupiers want to destroy everything there.”
The Ukrainian army is fighting back, according to Zelenskyy, but “it takes time and still a lot of extraordinary efforts by our people to break their advantage in the amount of equipment and weapons.”
Ukraine’s President further said that intercepted Russian army communications in Donbas show that they are aware of the war's futility and that “strategically their army stands no chance.”
