"The enemy does not give us gifts": Zelensky cautious after Russia's Kherson announcement

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that Ukraine will "move very carefully, without emotions, without unnecessary risk," in the light of Russia's announcement that it is withdrawing its troops from part of Kherson region. Zelensky struck a note of caution that has been echoed by senior government officials following Moscow's claim that it will retreat from the west bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson. "No one just leaves if they do not feel strong. The enemy does not give us gifts, does not make 'gestures of goodwill'. We fight for it," Zelensky said in his daily video message. "And when you fight, you must understand that every step is always the enemy's resistance, it is always the loss of lives of our heroes." "We are gradually moving to the south, strengthening our positions. Step by step," Zelensky said.
