Days after thousands of Russian troops fled Izium, in the northeastern Kharkiv region, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made a surprise visit to the recaptured town
Thousands of Russian troops fled Izium at the weekend, leaving behind large amounts of ammunition and equipment, in their worst defeat since they were driven back from the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in March.
Earlier, Ukraine's 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade published pictures of Zelenskiy, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar and military personnel in Izium.Commenting on the devastation he had seen in Izium, Zelenskiy said: "It’s not a shock for me... because we saw the same scenes as in Bucha... The same destroyed buildings and people killed.
"I am sure there will be sentencing, there will be a tribunal - not for one day do I doubt this," he said.
