In the undated clip, posted on Telegram, Mr Zelensky described it as proof that Ukraine would return every inch of its territory taken by Russia since the full-scale invasion began on 24 February 2022.

The Ukrainian president later announced he had returned from a visit to Turkey with five commanders ca...
