NNA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced today that he visited Ukrainian soldiers on the southern front during a business trip to the Mykolaiv region, but did not specify when the visit took place.

In a video clip posted on his official account on Telegram, the Ukrainian president, who was wearing his distinctive military shirt, handed the soldiers medals and took personal photos with them inside what appeared to be an underground bunker, according to Reuters.

"(These) are our brave men," he said. "Each one of them is giving his all...We will surely hold out! Surely we will win."
