Quote from Zelenskyy: "We are dealing with absolute evil. And we have no choice but to move on. Free our entire territory. Oust the occupiers from all our regions. And although now the width of our front is already more than 2,500 kilometres, it seems that the strategic initiative is still ours."

Details: Zelenskyy attached photos from the front and from Ukraine's devastated cities to his message.

Background: On 24 February, after eight years of waging a hybrid war, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It has managed to seize most of Kherson and Luhansk oblasts, a large part of Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk oblasts and part of Kharkiv oblast.

Ukraine is on the defensive and in some places mounting a counter-offensive.
