Zelenskyy tells how many of Ukraine's settlements are occupied by Russians.

Russian troops currently occupy 1,877 Ukrainian cities and villages.

"We are fighting on Ukrainian land for something without which all of you, friends, cannot imagine your own life. This is basic security; this is freedom and life under the law; this is human dignity and the right of every person and every community to self-respect; this is the happiness of living in a family and the opportunity to dream of a safe and free future for their children.

Simple things that 1,877 Ukrainian cities and villages are now deprived of. The occupier aims to increase this number and add millions more broken fates to the already broken ones," - said the President.
