Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, visited Ukraine on Sunday for his first visit since the Russian invasion of the east. Particularly in Kharkiv, where Moscow has pulled its troops out to focus them on other fronts.

Kharkiv, Ukraine: 2,229 homes destroyed. We will rebuild, restore and bring back life. He said, “In Kharkiv” and attached a video of his visit to Telegram. He is shown inspecting the destruction in a khaki suit and a bulletproof vest while accompanied by his collaborators and armed soldiers.

“In this war the occupiers want to achieve any result. They must have known for a long while that we will defend the land until the end. They are out of luck. Zelensky stated that they will fight and win. The second city of Ukraine, Kharkiv has seen some relief after being bombarded nearly daily since the Russian invasion. However, the eastern portion of the city is still sometimes targeted.
