Zelensky Says What Ukraine's Number One Problem Is Right Now

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke during his evening address about a meeting at the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's staff, where the situation in the Donetsk direction was discussed, as reported by the BBC.

"Of course, the number one issue is Soledar, Bakhmut. This is, in general, the battle for the Donetsk direction. We have thoroughly analyzed what decisions are needed, what reinforcements are necessary, and what actions commanders should take in the coming days," Zelensky stated.

The Russian side claims to have captured Soledar, which has not been confirmed either in Kyiv or by the Pentagon.
