The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the President of the European Council Donald Tusk visited Luhansk Oblast on July 7, as the Presidential Office reported.
According to the press service of the head of state, the President of Ukraine visited Stanytsia Luhanska and passed more than half a kilometer deep in the disengagement area beyond the zero position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“Together with the President of the European Council Donald Tusk, Volodymyr Zelensky passed the last point of the Ukrainian army and reached the destroyed bridge, on which people use to cross the demarcation line and which is planned to be restored in case truce-making is observed,” the report said.
“We want to restore this bridge. I publicly negotiated with our government: we will find funds and rebuild it very quickly. To do so we need to push back the fortified points from the other side, and then we will start building a bridge, and we will complete it quickly,” Zelensky assured.
The President of Ukraine stressed that people would be able to cross the demarcation line during the construction of the bridge.
Zelensky and Tusk also visited the command and observation post of the 8th company of the 25th separate airborne brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, where they heard a report on security in the Joint Forces Operation area.
“All troops have been withdrawn. The commanders are on full alert. There is no betrayal,” said the Chief of the General Staff, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ruslan Khomchak.
In addition, the President of Ukraine talked with the Deputy Chairman of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, Mark Etherington, regarding coordination in the region.
