Ukraine has been restraining the defense for the 20th day, the Armed Forces are holding the Russian army in all directions, adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak has said.

" The 20th day of 🇺🇦 heroism. True freedom always comes at a cost. The rest is unchanged," he said on Twitter.

In the attached video statement, adding that Ukraine's partners have not yet decided on their role in the current situation.

"We have no changes. No changes in the fact that we know how to fight and everyone already understands this. No changes in the fact that our partners are still watching all this with surprise and are still deciding for themselves whether they are ready to take on such responsibility, as Ukraine takes. No change in the fact that the Russian army practically does not know how to fight, it can only bombard civilian infrastructure and civilians. We are negotiating, of course, we are getting results, we will keep the enemy in all directions, he will lose his mind and further and will try to break us further, but this is impossible, you already understood this. Since we are Ukraine. Since we are fighting for our freedom, and we will definitely win," Podoliak said.
