KYIV, April 3 – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Friday that battlefield conditions for his country have reached their most favorable point in nearly a year, following his military’s success in preventing a planned Russian attack last month.
“The offensive they were planning for March was thwarted by the actions of our armed forces. That is why the Russians will now simply step up their assault operations,” Zelensky stated in comments issued by his administration on Friday.
The Ukrainian president also disclosed that he extended an invitation to American negotiators to travel to Kyiv during a virtual meeting held earlier this week, noting he received “positive signals” regarding his invitation.
“Overall, the front line is holding … The situation is complex, but the best it has been in the last 10 months,” Zelensky declared, referencing intelligence reports from both Ukrainian and British sources.
