Ukraine’s Zelenskiy: Front line ‘very, very difficult,’ we must do what we can in autumn

(Reuters) – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday the situation on the front line of the more than 2 1/2-year-old war against Russia was “very, very difficult” and Ukraine’s forces had to do everything they could over the autumn period.

“Reports on each of our frontline sectors, our capabilities, our future capabilities and our specific tasks. The situation is very, very difficult,” he said in his nightly video address, referring to a more than 2 1/2 hour meeting with top commanders.

“Everything that can be done this autumn, everything that we can achieve must be achieved.”
