The situation in the eastern city of Bakhmut is "getting more and more challenging," President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday, APA reports citing CNN.
"The enemy is constantly destroying everything that can be used to protect our positions, to secure and defend it," Zelensky said, soon after military commanders spoke of hundreds of Russian strikes in the area.
"Our soldiers defending the Bakhmut direction are true heroes," Zelesnky said in his daily video update.
