\"Zelensky:<\/p>\n

Russia is attempting to break through in northeastern Ukraine and continues to press on in the east with a new spring offensive, President Volodymyr Zelensky told journalists on April 9.<\/p>\n

Russia’s spring offensive<\/a><\/strong> in northeastern Ukraine “has actually already begun,” Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on April 9. Zelensky earlier warned<\/a><\/strong> that Russia is preparing for a fresh offensive against the Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts this spring.<\/p>\n

“Today, more than 67,000 Russian soldiers<\/strong><\/a> are located in the Kursk direction. (Russia) completed the relocation for an attack in the Sumy direction,” Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have taken successful steps to prevent a Russian advance towards Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts from Russia’s Belgorod Oblast<\/strong><\/a>, he added.<\/p>\n

“There are a lot of attempts there, daily. They (Russia) are bearing losses… There will be more attempts in the Kharkiv<\/a><\/strong> and Sumy directions,” Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

Zelensky cautioned that Russia<\/a><\/strong> has not changed its goal to capture large swathes of Ukrainian territory in its full-scale war against Ukraine and continues to press on in all directions.<\/p>\n

“We believe that they have not changed their plans – Sumy<\/a><\/strong>, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia directions. They do not forget about the east. This (provides) access to the borders of the Donetsk<\/a><\/strong> and Luhansk oblasts. This was their plan from the very beginning of the war,” Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

Russia saw its greatest tactical gains in November 2024, Zelensky said, adding that afterwards, Russian losses grew a lot and advances declined.<\/p>\n

In an interview published on March 26, Zelensky<\/a><\/strong> said, “We must look at the situation with our eyes wide open. (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is preparing a new offensive, particularly in Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts.”<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that Putin<\/a><\/strong> is trying to get time and is preparing for a spring offensive. We see preparations for this upcoming operation,” he added.<\/p>\n
