"We are moving forward. We are ready for peace — peace for our entire country," the president told the military, who lined up in front of the administration building on the cityʼs main square.
Zelensky also thanked NATO and other allies for their support in the war against Russia and said that the supply of highly mobile HIMARS multiple-launch artillery systems is of great importance to Kyiv.
Answering journalistsʼ questions about where Ukrainian troops can advance further, he said: "Not Moscow... We are not interested in the territories of another country."
A few minutes before the arrival of the president, explosions were heard in Kherson. After Zelensky finished his speech, several more explosions rang out over the city.
- Ukrainian military entered Kherson on November 11. Before that, the Russians announced that they were withdrawing troops from the right bank of the Dnipro River and Kherson itself. Fleeing, the occupiers blew up all the bridges across the Dnipro, boiler houses, communication towers and the television center in Kherson. The city was completely cut off by the Russians. Communication and Ukrainian radio have already been returned there. Currently, the military is clearing Kherson from the occupiers and looking for collaborators.
- The secretary of the NSDC Oleksiy Danilov called on citizens not to hurry back to the de-occupied areas of the Kherson region, because there are still risks for the civilian population there.
