He highlighted the successful actions of Ukrainian troops in the Oleksandrivka and Huliaipole sectors, the control of Kupiansk, and the containment of enemy forces in the Pokrovsk‑Myrnohrad agglomeration.

"I thank Ukrainians for their resilience and for supporting the army. My sincere gratitude goes to Ukrainian soldiers thanks to whom we endured this difficult winter," he concluded.
