Quote: “…We must preserve the lives of our soldiers, our people. We will rebuild our walls and reclaim our land, but above all we must preserve the lives of our people. And if the military command withdraws the troops from those parts of the front where the enemy has the most significant fire advantage, as it was in Lisichansk, this means only one thing: that we will return, thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increased supply of modern weapons.
Details: Zelensky stressed that “Ukraine is not giving anything away.”
“And when Moscow officials report on the situation in Luhansk region, let them remember the reports and promises they made before February 24, during the first days of the invasion, in the spring and now. Let them make a real assessment of what they have achieved in that time and the price they have paid for it. Because their current reports will be turned to dust, just like their previous ones,” the president noted, referring to the fact that Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defense minister, reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, July 3, that the entire Luhansk region was under Russian control.
President Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine continues to gradually advance in Kharkiv Oblast, Kherson Oblast and the Black Sea.
“Serpentine [Snake Island] is a great example of this. The day will come when we can say the same about Donbass [i.e. that Donbas will be liberated – ed.]Zelensky said.
Earlier: On Sunday, July 3, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had withdrawn from their positions in Lisychansk (Luhansk Region) after heavy fighting.
