In the last few days, Ukrainian forces have regained control of large swaths of territory from Russian forces.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that Ukrainian forces have reclaimed more than 2,300 square miles of territory from Russia.

Everyone who is ready to fight against Russian terror, thank you. Zelenskyy said that they bring victory closer.

Thousands of people have been killed on both sides of the war in Russia.
