1:16Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his government was working to get its remaining troops safely out of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
"The evacuation mission is continuing. It is being supervised by our military and intelligence officers," he said in his nightly video address to the nation. "The most influential international mediators are involved."
Zelenskiy said Tuesday began with a "pretty serious combination" of Russian attacks. He said Russian forces fired missiles at the western Lviv region and the Sumy and Chernihiv regions in the northeast, and carried out airstrikes in the eastern Luhansk region. He said the border regions of Ukraine saw Russian "sabotage activity."
"All of this is not just creating tension for our state, is not just a test of our strength," he said in his nightly video address. "This is kind of an attempt to compensate the Russian army for a series of failures in the east and south of our country."
"They are unable to demonstrate any success in the areas where they are trying to attack, so they are trying to show success through their missiles and other activities, but also to no effect," Zelenskiy said.
"These strikes, like the many previous ones, do not fundamentally change anything. Moreover, our air defense and anti-sabotage measures are getting stronger," he added.
