It also attended dozens of defenders of Ukraine who were released by Kharkiv region, commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Alexander Sirsky, representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Presidential Office. Video of the Day Zelensky thanked the Ukrainian servicemen "for keeping our people, our hearts, children and the future. " “Probably, it is possible to temporarily pay off the territories of our country.
But it is impossible to occupy our people, Ukrainian people, ”the President said in his speech in Izium. He also recalled the importance of the flag of Ukraine. “Earlier, when we looked up, we always searched the blue sky, the sun. And today we, and especially people in temporarily occupied territories, looking up, we are looking for only one thing - the flag of our country. This means that the characters are here. This means that there is no enemy, he escaped, ”Zelensky stated.
In Izium, he also presented awards by a number of military personnel of the Armed Forces. The world media paid attention to this unexpected visit of Zelensky to a recently liberated city, located near the front line. Leading Western editions and agencies emphasize the contrast between the deeper isolation of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and a symbolic trip to the President of Ukraine against the background of the Armed Forces. HB provides extracts from several foreign media materials.
The Washington Post calls Zelensky's "bold" visit to raisins and raising the Ukrainian flag in the city "commemorating the most important military victory of Ukraine since Russian invaders have been knocked out of Kiev at the end of March. " The newspaper reminds that Izium's visit was one of the numerous trips of the Ukrainian President to the war zone.
"They have provided a contrast between the young Ukrainian leader and the aging Russian President Vladimir Putin, who calls the war a" special military operation "and has not attended his soldiers in the field since the war," WP emphasized.
The authors of the publication also emphasize that raisins were released as a result of a "quick and surprisingly successful counter -offensive", which became for Ukraine "both an important military victory and a psychological triumph, raising the national spirit, strengthening Ukraine's international support and warming up calls for additional supplies But the equipment is in the hope of using, probably, a turning point for seven months of war.
” In a separate review, WP writes that against this background, "Vladimir Putin seems more and more in a dead end", and a set of options for further actions for him is narrowing. "Putin clung to the fiction of the inevitable victory over Ukraine for months - allegedly" artificial "state - and fed his compatriots with contradictory fables: that the war they are leading is an existential battle for Russia's future, and at the same time a simple" special operation " , - reminds WP.
"However, the Putin propaganda frame began to collapse, and he found himself in a situation where he could neither put up with defeat or strive for a decisive victory. " Putin seems to be "strategic chaos and is increasingly isolated," WP journalists say, citing expert opinion. "It is an unclear vision of Putin about where we [RF] go, what our goals are and how we are going to win," political scientist Tatiana Stanova said. He separated from the elites.
But to follow Putin, not knowing where we are going - [such a process] cannot last forever. " The dictator certainly retains the will to continue the war, Michael Kafman, a director of Russian research at the Navy Center (USA), is convinced. However, he still acted on the basis of "illusions that the Russian military wins and finally defeat," Kafman reminds. And as soon as this illusion is dispersed, the political price of the invasion for the dictator can increase.
The New York Times reminds that raisins are about 14. 5 km from the front line, and the unexpected appearance of Zelensky here became a "tangible sign of the takeoff of the moral spirit of Ukraine and its growing courage - demonstration that the military can ensure the safety And that they will steadily protect all that they have been returned.
" "Last week, Russian soldiers escaped from the city during a humiliating retreat, throwing tanks, trucks and boxes with ammunition on the streets, and Zelensky's visit emphasized this humiliation," NYT states. The newspaper emphasizes that the arrival of the President of Ukraine in Izium has especially upset about pro -Russian military bloggers, who recently had criticized their leadership for the failures of the Russian Federation.
Among such examples, NYT quotes the post of Prokremlivsky propagandist Alexander Zhuchkovsky, who wrote: "Where again the Russian flag is raised, he should not descend there," - maybe it is not necessary to repeat it once again, so that it is not ashamed? […] Here's what the heads of our administrations, headquarters and commissions should now hurt. And this pain should not be treated with vodka, but urgent decisions, cardinal reforms. " Donbas.
”The Bloomberg agency states that the sudden arrival of Zelensky in Izium emphasized“ the stunning success of a counter -offensive against Russian troops in northeast The population exceeded 45,000 people, as well as Kupyansk, an important logistics unit on the way to the border with Russia, can be a serious test for Vladimir Putin, ”Bloomberg notes. Whereas Zelensky's visit to raisins is likely to“ strengthen his image an effective communicator and wartime leader.
”In this context, the agency reminds that for all Zelensky's invasion of the invasion of the nation daily, and also made speeches before dozens of parliaments of countries around the world, promoting the agenda of Ukraine. The Guardian writes that Zelensky's unexpected visit "emphasized the dramatic success of Ukraine's promotion" during the September offensive. “His armed forces conquered about 4000 square meters.
km of the territory in Kharkiv region, including 300 settlements, some of which are located directly on the border with Russia, - the publication reminds. "The most beautiful Kremlin battalions were running away from the devastating Ukrainian offensive. " The Guardian believes that after such a blow, Vladimir Putin will be able to fulfill the strategic military goal declared in the spring - the capture of the whole Donbass.
At the same time, British journalists emphasize that the visit to Izum is not the first trip of Zelensky to the war zone. Earlier, he visited Lisichansk and Soledar, awarding soldiers when fierce battles occurred in May and June near these cities. Now Kyiv again contrasts the immediacy of Zelensky "the probable cowardice and alienation of Putin.
