According to the report, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told AFP on Friday that his country is not losing its war against Russia, has taken hundreds of square kilometers in a new counteroffensive, and that European troops should deploy right on the front line after any ceasefire.
The report stated that Ukraine’s leader was speaking to AFP in an exclusive interview ahead of the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion, with the outcome of the war, or the shape of any deal to end the fighting, still hanging in the balance.
The Ukrainian leader's assessment of the grinding conflict comes as US President Donald Trump is pushing Kyiv to agree a deal with Moscow, and during one of the most difficult winters for Ukraine’s exhausted population and stretched military.
Zelenskyy told AFP journalists at the presidential palace in the Ukrainian capital that they can’t say that they were losing the war. Honestly, he said that they are definitely not losing it. The question is whether they will win, and that is the question, but it is a very costly question, Zelenskyy added.
The report said that Europe’s deadliest war since World War II, unleashed when Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops to pour over the Ukrainian border on February 24, 2022, has seen tens of thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of military personnel killed on both sides.
The report added that Russian forces this winter have dramatically escalated a campaign of systematic strikes on Ukrainian energy sites, attacks that have left millions in the cold and dark for weeks in freezing temperatures.
Additionally, Washington and Moscow are both exerting pressure on Kyiv to give up the embattled Donbas region to the Kremlin in any deal to end the four-year war. Zelenskyy said about the eastern region that Russia has claimed as its own, both the Americans and the Russians say that if you want the war to end tomorrow, get out of Donbas.
