"The movement of our soldiers on different fronts continues. At this time, as part of the actions since the beginning of September, about 2,000 kilometres of our territory have already been liberated. These days, the Russian army is demonstrating the best thing it can do — it runs away. And, after all, it is a good choice for them to run away. There is no place for the occupiers in Ukraine and there will never be any." - said President.
