Russia wanted to “destroy” Ukraine but war has “returned to its home”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says in an independence day video address filmed in the border area from where Kyiv launched its surprise incursion into Kursk.
Ukraine was on Saturday celebrating its 33rd independence day from the Soviet Union amid the protracted war, with Ukrainian forces entering Russia’s Kursk region and Moscow making gains in more eastern Ukrainian areas.
