Russia's Desperate Attempts to Halt Ukraine's Progress, According to Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warns that Russia is investing all available resources to halt Ukraine's counteroffensive in the south and east of the country. Despite slower progress than anticipated, Ukrainian forces have reported battlefield advances. Zelenskyy also monitors the security situation in Belarus, where Russia's Wagner mercenary group has reached an agreement to train Belarusian troops. Ukrainian officials acknowledge the difficulty of the fighting but state that Western allies are not pressuring them to advance faster. Ukrainian forces aim to cut off the land bridge established by Russian forces with the annexed Crimean peninsula.
