In his new video address to international leaders, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the formation of a new military group of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine at a distance of 90 kilometers from Kharkiv.
"Russia is the only source of aggression and is constantly trying to expand the war. We are now protecting ourselves northeast from this place from the next attempt of the Russian offensive. Russia is preparing to attempt offensive actions near our border," he said.
Zelensky stated that such actions of the aggressor indicate that Russia does not seek peace. He also stressed that Ukraine has the experience of deception by Russia in negotiations, which was a cover for war preparation.
In May, Russian invaders tried to break through the defense of Ukraine near the Vovchansk Kharkiv region, as a result of which the Armed Forces began a counter -offensive. As of May 24, the Armed Forces announced the stopping of Russian troops in the Kharkiv direction and carrying out counter -offensive actions.
