Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented awards to families of soldiers from the Ukrainian army at a ceremony in Kyiv on Monday.

"You prove every day and night that Ukraine can’t be defeated and Ukrainians can’t be conquered," Zelenskyy said in the social media post.

Every year on December 12, Ukraine celebrates the Day of the Ground Forces.

The United States accuses Russia of turning to Iran and North Korea for more firepower as it exhausts its regular supplies of ammunition.
