President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Ukrainian soldiers from special operation units in Chasiv Yar on July 29, his press service reported.

Zelensky visited a command center in Donetsk Oblast, located 17 kilometers west of Bakhmut.

He congratulated the soldiers on their professional holiday, as July 29 is marked as the Day of the Special Operations Forces in Ukraine – elite forces in charge of some of the most difficult spots on the front line.

"Probably, the people of Ukraine do not hear much about special operations soldiers, because you are always in the hottest spots," Zelensky said.
