Verbatim: "You need to approach this situation with balance, as wisely as possible. There’s no need for excessive euphoria driven by success, but also there’s no need to assume the worst. We still need time, we still need weapons, we still need to fight and endure. We can't burn out now. So we avoid a burn out, you shouldn’t overhype expectations."

Details: The President said that Ukrainian defenders are advancing in the Kyiv region and regaining control over the territory.

"Irpin has been liberated ... The aggressors are being driven out from Irpin, they are being driven out from Kyiv. However, it is too early to talk about security in this part of our region. The fighting continues," he said.

Zelenskyy said that Russian troops controlled the north of the Kyiv region, had resources and manpower, and were trying to restore broken units.

"The level of their losses, even at 90%, is not an argument for them to stop. Hundreds and hundreds of units of burned and abandoned aggressors’ military equipment does not convince them that this will happen to everyone," the president said.

According to him, the situation in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donbas and southern Ukraine remains tense and very difficult.
