"Today – at the front. Right now – in Kupiansk. Already been in Pokrovsk. With our brigades. I congratulated the guys and girls – our warriors – on Sergeant's Day. Sergeants are truly warriors, without whom the normal functioning of officers and our units as a whole is unimaginable. I am grateful to all the sergeants who genuinely serve as role models for the soldiers," said Zelensky.
He emphasized that the strength of the Ukrainian army lies in the people who serve with dedication and resilience.
"Today, I had the honor of awarding the best warriors with state honors – those who have distinguished themselves in battle. I listened to reports from our commanders. Additionally, I received updates on the security situation and the social environment in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. We are holding our positions! Thank you to the warriors," the president noted.
