Zelensky ordered to de-occupy the south of Ukraine, - Reznikov

The president has instructed the top military leadership to develop a plan for the de-occupation of coastal areas that are vital to the country's economy. This was reported by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov in an interview with The Times.

In his first interview with a British newspaper since the start of the invasion, Oleksiy Reznikov said that President Zelensky ordered the Ukrainian military to return the occupied coastal areas vital to the country's economy.

"We understand that politically it is very necessary for our country. The President instructed the top military leadership to develop plans. After that, the General Staff tells us what we need in order to achieve that goal. Next is my job. I write letters to colleagues in partner countries," Reznikov said.
