In the south, during a rapid counteroffensive, Ukrainian defenders have already liberated 41 settlements.

Good news from the south, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi during his traditional video address in the evening, November 10.

"The number of Ukrainian flags returning to their rightful place within the framework of the ongoing defense operation is already dozens. 41 settlements have been liberated," the head of state said.

He thanked all Ukrainian heroes who ensure this promotion: the Armed Forces, intelligence, special services

The president especially noted the fighters of the 28th separate mechanized brigade, the 46th amphibious assault brigade, the 60th separate infantry brigade and the 128th separate mountain assault brigade - those who implement offensive actions.

"Now we are all happy to see how the Ukrainians who remained in the occupied villages and cities are meeting our soldiers," Zelenskyy said.

At the same time, he urged Ukrainians to remember that every step of our defense forces is the life of our soldiers.

"The lives that are given for freedom for Ukrainians. Everything that is happening now has been achieved through months of brutal struggle. It has been achieved through bravery, pain, and losses. It is not the enemy who is coming. It is the Ukrainians who are driving the occupiers at great cost. As in the east of our country, in Kharkiv Oblast. As before in the north - Kyiv Oblast, Sumy Oblast, Chernihiv Oblast. Now - Mykolaiv Oblast, Kherson Oblast.

We have to go all the way - on the battlefield and in diplomacy - so that our flags, Ukrainian flags, and never again enemy tricolors will be on our land, along our internationally recognized border.

It will happen," concluded Zelensky.
