Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has praised his country's troops around Kupiansk. Meanwhile, a German intelligence employee will stand trial next month for allegedly spying for Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday praised the Ukrainian soldiers stationed around the eastern town of Kupiansk, during a visit to the eastern front command.
"I know you lose comrades and those close to you every day. Everyone understands that this is the highest price," he told the assembled soldiers.
He praised the troops for "protecting the peaceful life of Ukrainians and the people of the Kharkiv region," in a video posted later on social media.
"I wish you victory, be strong and don't lose the initiative," he said.
Zelenskyy also presented medals to several officers and was briefed on the situation along the Kupiansk-Lyman defense line.
Kupiansk, which lies in the Kharkiv region, was recaptured from Russian forces in early September 2022. However, the front line has recently inched closer to the city.
