Stating that politicians, security forces representatives, and people from different professions in Ukraine acted together towards victory by fulfilling their duties, Zelensky said, "We all feel that our victory is approaching now."

Zelensky also said that the investigators in Kherson region have uncovered more than 400 Russian war crimes in the region.

Several bodies of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians have been found in the region, Zelensky said in his nightly address.

"In Kherson region, the Russian army left behind the same atrocities as in other regions of our country, where it was able to enter," he said in a nightly address.

He also said 226 settlements were stabilized in the Kherson region, covering more than 100,000 residents, and added that the arrest of the Russian soldiers and mercenaries is proceeding.

Zelensky added that the fighting in the Donetsk region in Eastern Ukraine is continuing to be as tense as the previous days.
