Madrid (EFE) to travel to Minsk in search of a second war front.
“The protection of the border with Russia and Belarus is a constant priority. We are preparing for all possible defense scenarios. Whoever inclines Minsk to whatever will not help it like any other sick idea in this war against Ukraine and the Ukrainians,” Zelensky said in his usual late-breaking speech.
Russian President Vladimir Putin travels to Belarus this Monday in a decisive week for Russia’s future military strategy in Ukraine, where the opening of a second front could put the Ukrainian Army in many difficulties.
Putin will meet in Minsk with his main accomplice in the “special military operation”, the Belarusian president, Alexandr Lukashenko, and in the coming days he will chair the meeting of the Ministry of Defense and on Thursday that of the Council of State.
At the meeting of the General Staff of the Defense of Ukraine held this Sunday, as explained by Zelensky, the situation in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions was examined “in great detail”.
“Bakhmut’s direction is key. We maintain the city, although the occupiers are doing everything possible so that not a single wall remains intact, “he explained.
According to the Ukrainian president, in the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, and in the south in general, Ukrainian forces are “gradually reducing the potential of the occupiers.”
“Less ammunition depots, less logistics for the Russian army,” he said.
