Zelensky said no one knows how long the war in Ukraine will last but that Ukrainian forces are defying expectations
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Kyiv, Ukraine on June 11, 2022.
“Sievierodonetsk is not completely 100% liberated,” Pasechnik said Saturday, alleging that the Ukrainians were shelling the city from the Azot plant. “So it’s impossible to call the situation calm in Sievierodonetsk, that it is completely ours.” Elsewhere in Ukraine, a counteroffensive pushed Russians out of parts of the southern Kherson region they took early in the war, according to Zelensky. Moscow has installed local authorities in Kherson and other occupied coastal areas, offering residents Russian passports, airing Russian news broadcasts and taking steps to introduce a Russian school curriculum.
He suggested that nations supplying weapons to Ukraine were hindering peace by “adding fuel to the fire” and stressed that China had not provided any material support to Russia during the war.Pope Francis urged the faithful in St. Peter’s Square to keep praying and fighting for peace in Ukraine as the war reached its 109th day.
