"He visited the front lines, awarded the fighters with distinctions and valuable gifts. The president has already left Bakhmut", - he told Suspilne.
Later, a video from Bakhmut appeared with the presentation of awards to Ukrainian defenders and the words of the president.
"It seems to me that Bakhmut's heroes should get the same that every person gets. I wish their children and families - that everything is fine with them, that they are warm, that they have health. I would like to wish that there was light, but there is such a difficult situation that there is light now, and then there is no light. The main thing is that the light is inside", - Volodymyr Zelensky said.
