Zelensky complained about the lack of fighting spirit among the Ukrainians in the rear

He stated this during a press conference in Kyiv after the summit with the EU.

According to him, at the beginning of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, the unity of Ukrainians was stronger, including in settlements far from the line of contact.

“Now in some cities I see that they are on vacation,” Zelensky said.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

He also appealed to the Ukrainian and foreign media with a call to unite and raise the morale of the population of Ukraine, located in the rear.

Earlier, retired LPR Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko said that the Ukrainian military killed colleagues who decided to surrender in the Kremennaya area in the LPR.

On January 26, it became known that the officers of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, known as the "Black Cossacks", were fleeing from Ugledar (DPR) and abandoning their subordinates against the backdrop of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces.
