Zelenskyy visits Kharkiv
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Kharkiv – just 40 kilometers from the Russian border – with several photos from the trip posted on the president’s Telegram channel on March 22.
Zelenskyy met with city Mayor, Ihor Terekhov, presenting him with the Hero City of Ukraine award – for the heroic resolve of Kharkiv residents in repelling numerous Russian assaults.
“Thanks to the residents of this beautiful city, it defends our independence side by side with other cities of our country,” Zelenskyy said.
The president convened a meeting to discuss the situation in Kharkiv Oblast, specifically the reconstruction of de-occupied territories, fortification works, infrastructure repairs, and state assistance to the victims of the war.
He also presented military awards to Ukrainian soldiers who defended Kharkiv Oblast from Russian invaders over the course of the war.
Earlier on March 22, Zelenskyy visited frontline Ukrainian positions near Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, which remains the most intensely fought over locale of the past several months.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
