The Ukrainian military has managed to disrupt a Russian strategic offensive planned for this month, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on March 16.

Zelenskyy said that despite continuous enemy attacks and assaults, the intensity and scale of fighting have not matched the plans Russian commanders had promised the Kremlin.

“This is important because our strength on the front is the strength of all Ukrainian positions, our communication with the world, our diplomacy and the ability of the world to stand with us, whatever the challenges,” he said.

He thanked every unit fighting on the Donetsk front, in Kharkiv Oblast, and along the Russian border in Sumy Oblast, and singled out the Zaporizhzhia front as particularly important.

“The Russians are trying to build up forces there, but we are destroying them," the president said.

On March 15, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russian forces now view the Zaporizhzhia sector as a main axis and are concentrating significant forces and equipment there.
