Quote from Zelenskyy: "Some people think we’re in a Hollywood movie, and expect immediate results. It’s not like that."
Details: Zelenskyy explained that it is difficult for Ukrainian forces to make gains because Russian forces laid mines across 200,000 square kilometres of Ukrainian land.
"Regardless of what others want us to do, including their attempts to put pressure on us, with all due respect, we will continue advancing on the battlefield in ways we deem appropriate," the Ukrainian president stressed.
