Ukraine’s president visits troops on northeastern frontline

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has visited troops near the Kupiansk sector of the frontline in the country’s northeast, he announced on social media on November 30. Zelenskiy posted a video of him visiting a command post in the area alongside one of Ukraine’s top generals. The president thanked the troops for their sacrifices. “I wish you victory, to be strong, and not to lose initiative in defending Kharkiv region, Kupiansk, and every our village and every square metre of our land,“ he told the assembled soldiers. Ukrainian troops have been weathering Russian assaults on the Kupiansk front over the last several months, as Moscow seeks to push back in a sector where it was humiliatingly routed in a lightning counter-offensive over a year ago. Moscow has made some small, incremental gains gains in the area since September, but the front lines have not moved significantly. #ukrainewar #zelensky #russia n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
