🪖 Ukraine's positions on the front are the strongest in a long time of the war, - Zelenskyy
Ukraine's positions on the front in 2026 remain the strongest in a long time of the full-scale war. However, delays in supplying air defense systems, in particular interceptor missiles, do not allow the country to have better positions in diplomacy.
This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address after the report of Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi.
Zelenskyy said that on 27 October he was informed by the military about the "Veles" operation, which "Khartiya" is carrying out in the Kupiansk direction.
He says it is a "strong operation — well thought-out, technological." Russian forces tried to use underground gas pipes to move past Ukrainian positions, and Ukrainian fighters "turned that tactic against the Russians" and used the system of underground communications against the occupiers "extremely successfully."
According to the president, this is already the third notable operation this year:
the first — an Air Assault Forces operation, during which more than 800 square kilometers were liberated;
the second — the "Vivaldi" operation in Donetsk region, in areas where the Russians "had many ambitions, plans, and assaults"; more than 200 sq. km were liberated;
the third — "Veles" by "Khartiya," which "strengthens our positions and demonstrates to the Russians that even near Kupiansk they have no result that their political leadership promised them."
"It is important to note that this year Ukraine's positions on the front remain the strongest in a long time of this war," Zelenskyy emphasized.
