Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has visited the southern port city of Mykolaiv in a rare trip outside the capital, Kyiv, APA reports citing BBC.
In a video published by his office, he could be seen looking at a badly damaged residential building in the city, holding a meeting with regional officials - including the head of the Mykolaiv regional administration, Vitaliy Kim - and giving out state awards to some of them.
His office said they discussed the state of the economy, the restoration of water supplies, and the agricultural situation.
"Special attention was paid to threats from land and sea. We do not stop working for victory," the statement read.
His visit comes a day after a Russian strike killed two people and wounded another 20 in the city.
The city is regularly targeted by Russian artillery and missile strikes, officials say.
