C T Online Desk: Ukraine’s army has recaptured around “2,000 kilometres of territory” in September, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Saturday, adding that the Russian army was doing the right thing in fleeing the counter-offensive.
“For the moment, since the beginning of September, around 2,000 kilometres has been liberated,” said Zelensky in his evening address.
He did not specify whether he was talking about square kilometres, but on Thursday, the army’s commander-in-chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, said their troops had recaptured 1,000 square kilometres (nearly 400 square miles) of territory from Russian forces.
“There is no place in Ukraine for the occupiers. There never will be.”
