Zelensky on counteroffensive: We’re moving forward, we have initiative now

"As for the counteroffensive. We are advancing. We have the initiative now. The offensive is not fast, that is a fact. But, nevertheless, we are moving forward and not moving backward like the Russians. Therefore, I see this as a positive," Zelensky said at a joint press conference with President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel in Prague on July 6, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

As reported, President Zelensky paid a visit to Bulgaria on the afternoon of July 6 and later came to Prague.

In addition to the meetings with the Czech president, Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Speakers of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies Miloš Vystrčil and Markéta Pekarová Adamová, Zelensky is expected to meet with members of the government, parliament, and media representatives.
