Weeks into Ukraine's military offensive to retake areas occupied by Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged that battlefield progress has been "slower than desired."

"Some people believe this is a Hollywood movie and expect results now. It's not," he told the BBC.

"What's at stake is people's lives."


Ukraine claims that its counteroffensive has retaken eight villages in the Zaporizhzhia region in the south and Donetsk in the east.

According to Mr. Zelensky, Russian forces had mined 200,000 square kilometers (77,220 square miles) of Ukrainian territory, making the military push difficult.

Mr. Zelensky went on to say, "Whatever some might want, including attempts to pressure us, with all due respect, we will advance on the battlefield the way we deem best,"
