Russian forces took 40 villages in east Ukraine on Thursday, but President Zelensky says these and other gains are only temporary.
"They can only delay the inevitable, the time when the invaders will have to leave our territory," Mr Zelensky said.
Physical damage to Ukraine's buildings and infrastructure from Russia's invasion has reached roughly $60bn (£46bn), according to the World Bank.
The UN says the Ukraine war is a "horror story of violations against civilians", as it investigates more than 300 alleged unlawful killings in the country.
