Fighting around the city of Kharkiv, which has seen Russia make its largest territorial gains in Ukraine in 18 months, has been described as very difficult but under control by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Mr. Zelensky made the comments while speaking to military leaders in the north-eastern city on Thursday, just 18 miles from the Russian border.
Moscow launched a major ground assault across the border into the Kharkiv region last week.
The surprise move has further stretched Ukraine's outgunned and outmanned forces.
