President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine hasn’t yet used new assault brigades in its counteroffensive as troops advance across some parts of the front line.

Some of the most potent military units are “waiting for their hour” to join the fight, Zelenskiy said in a video address Monday evening. Kyiv’s military hasn’t lost any positions as they hold their ground in areas seeing an increase in Russian attacks, he said.
