Zelensky visits Ukraine’s frontlines ahead of peace talks

8 comments

1. **From The Telegraph:**

   President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Ukraine’s frontline Donetsk region on Saturday, where he met commanders of drone units near the strategic eastern city of Pokrovsk.

   Ukrainian troops have for months fended off Russian assaults around the city, where Moscow’s forces have been slowly advancing to try to eventually capture the entire region.

   ”I visited the command post of the Tactical Group Pokrovsk and met with the commanders of the Drone Line, which united the finest unmanned systems units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Mr Zelensky wrote on X.

   ”I received a report on the defense of the Pokrovsk direction, the operational situation, and the progress of the missions. I honored our warriors with state awards.”

   It comes as Russian forces on Wednesday conducted an airstrike on the energy infrastructure of Slovyansk, a city of 100,000 people in the Donetsk region, just hours after Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump he would halt attacks on the grid.

   Ukraine and Russia have agreed to a limited ceasefire after US President Trump spoke with both leaders this week, though it is not yet clear when it might take effect and what targets would be off limits.

   Delegations from both countries will hold separate talks on implementing a ceasefire with the US in Saudi Arabia on Monday.

6. I hope he’s telling them to stay prepared for Russia to defy the ceasefire. That is probably inevitable

7. Visits Novorossiya, you mean.
