"Ukraine's Counteroffensive: Russian Withdrawal or Destruction"

President Zelenskyy has warned that all the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine will be liberated, and if Russian troops do not leave, they will be destroyed. He did not specify when the counteroffensive would take place but stated that the military was preparing to be strong in battle. Zelenskyy visited a school basement in Yahidne where Russian invaders had held civilians hostage for almost a month. He wished the Russian president would "spend the rest of his life in a basement, with a bucket instead of a toilet".
