President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to eastern Ukraine to meet soldiers. These are demoralized, after the fall of many cities in the hands of the Russians.
Monday, June 6, several cities in Donbass (Ukraine) are under air alert almost all the time. Civilians only come out for food distributions. They fear to know the same fate as the inhabitants of the town of Severodonetsk (Ukraine), located more in the East, pounded by the Russians. The Ukrainian soldiers had to retreat into a city taken by the Russians, and their morale is not good.
“It’s a tragedy to have had to step back. We would never want to have to do that. What we want is to attack“, confides a soldier. “The Russian artillery destroyed everything, everything was razed. There was no longer any possible position to hide“says another. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, visited the east of the country to present medals and support the troops.”Without you, our country is nothing“, he said. The intervention of the president succeeded in consolidating the spirit of resistance of his men.
