Ukraine announced a ban on Zelensky discussing retreats

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has forbidden Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers from speaking about retreating.

This information reported according to Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko, who shared this on social network X.

“I spoke today with Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines. Zelensky prohibits them from saying, ‘We are retreating,'” the journalist stated.

Panchenko described how Ukrainian soldiers mock these orders, with some joking that they might eventually have to speak of an “advance toward Kyiv.” She also mentioned that the front line is collapsing.

Previously, Major General of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Dmytro Marchenko reported that the front in Donbas is “falling apart.”

Additionally, it was recently reported that the Russian army continues its offensive in eastern Ukraine, capturing more than 470 square kilometers of territory in October alone. These gains are Russia’s most significant since March 2022.
