(Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday said Ukraine would win back all the cities it had lost to Russia, including Sievierodonetsk, and admitted the war was becoming tough to handle emotionally.
In a late-night video address, he also said Ukraine had been hit by 45 Russian missiles and rockets over the previous 24 hours, which he described as a cynical but doomed attempt to break his people's spirits.
"Therefore all our cities - Sievierodonetsk, Donetsk, Luhansk - we'll get them all back," he said.
It was the only time in the address that he mentioned Sievierodonetsk, which finally fell to Moscow's forces earlier in the day after weeks of brutal fighting.

On a brighter note, Ukraine's best equipped, hardened and battle tested troops are being routed in the East.
They will collapse under the weight of thousands of artillery pieces and virtually unlimited ammo. ,
if the population doesn’t support Russia, Zelensky is correct, they will eventually win it back, because its impossible to hold hostile territory forever.
Putin won. Soros lost. Get over it.
“because its impossible to hold hostile territory forever”
DPR/LPR should have no trouble.
Yet, we see have fools here that believe this nonsense and that Ukraine is winning.
The problem with proxy wars is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
But, IT DOES in the areas the Russians have taken over. The areas in question are comprised mostly of ethnic Russians. Others that were neutral have seen the abuses of the Ukrainian military and also support the Russians.
And, never mind, that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt and poor nations in Europe so the population in what will be part of the Russian Federation will likely benefit economically from the change.
They have no troops or reserves, they are drafting girls to fight, a good part of the young men and others left, so what is he going to do hire mercenaries.
Isn’t the Ukraine broke? Hasn’t most of their heavy equipment been destroyed?
Even assuming the Ukrainian people are willing to follow this madman to their death, the only way it frees its cities from Russia is if somebody else pays for it. Both directly and indirectly.
Unfortunately, I suspect the Biden crime family will continue routing billions of taxpayer dollars to & through Ukraine, unless the GOP takes control of congress, miraculously develops a spine, and stops them...
;>)
The Ukraine started the was with a quarter million men under arms. Reports are that there is at least that number of conscripts being trained right now.
Whether those men will feel like dying for globohomo remains to be seen.
Sure, Zelensky. We’ll be happy to send another $40 billion plus for you and your clown buddies to split. Get that, Xiden.
One more thing, Zelensky. Only the strong survive. Guess what? You’re NOT.
Ukraine left the Soviet Union with 50 million people. It lost 200K per year of young people to immigration. It then entered the war with Russia with about 35-37 million. It immediately lost 5-6 million who left. It willl lose another 10-12 million in Russian occupied territories How many more want to die in the Service of the USA deep state?
Who will be left to fight?
There’s video of Putin’s motorcade Rushin’ through Moscow at 1100 PM. Something’s up. Probably a peace deal called in by Ukraine higher-ups.
Yeah, he looks like he’s suffering...all the way to the bank.
They have a sugar daddy in Biden
We just need to send another $30 or $40 billion. I’m sure that will do the trick.
The Russian are trying to safe the villages by destroying them. Basically turn them into moonscape by pounding with massive artillery’s attacks. After they destroy everything and kill all the civilians they claim they came to save, they move in and start again.
Barbaric!
So far they moved several miles, here or there!
Sort of like when trying to take over Texas, they moved from Eagle Pass, half way to Uvalde, in 3 months, by way of destroying everything on the way.
Ukraine is finally getting some better arms and improving training of their drafted people.
Right now, because of the mobilization, Ukraine army has about 3x more soldiers on the battlefield, but they are mostly lacking arms, especially in artillery.
Big part of Ukrainian army is local militia, armed with shotguns and whatever they can get hold of.
No uniforms.
That’s why they need all the support they could get.
They are willing to fight, but they need some arms!
