Zelensky warns ceding Sloviansk and Kramatorsk could open path to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia's demand that Ukraine withdraw from Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Druzhkivka would expose Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to a further Russian advance. He named Pavlohrad and Dnipro as possible next targets, and said the Ukrainian-held part of Donetsk Oblast is a heavily fortified defensive line that would be lost. The warning came in an English-language podcast, Diary Of A CEO.
