Liberated city of Izium visited by Zelenskyy | DW News

After seven months of the Russian invasion, Ukrainian forces have suddenly reshaped the battlelines. An advance in the East and South at lightning speed, forcing Russian troops to retreat just as quickly.
Ukraine's President Zelenskyy toured the eastern city of Izium today, which just weeks ago was occupied by Russian forces. Both a declaration of victory and show of defiance, Zelenskyy today raised the Ukrainian flag over the city.

00:00 Ukraine’s advance is sending shockwaves all the way to Moscow. Russian President Putin is facing unprecedented criticism of his war policy. There are calls for him to ramp up the war effort, including a general draft. But tonight, Putin is resisting, insisting that Ukraine will remain a limited operation.
