President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia is trying to completely seize Donbas and will distort the "Anchorage" agreements with the United States, but Ukraine is not going to abandon its people or withdraw from its own territories. The head of state said this in an interview with the "United News" telethon, reports UNN.
putin cannot yet find a victory in this war. Unfortunately, we must acknowledge and understand what is happening. He is thinking about mobilization. He is thinking about how to deceive his own people. To carry out mass mobilization without announcing it
In particular, this concerns the use of "shadow contracts" and the possible blocking of the borders. Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is already seeing corresponding steps by Russia.
Putin needs to demonstrate a victory in the war to Russians, but he will not have a victory in Ukraine.
He needs to seize Donbas. We are not going to withdraw on our own. What can he sell as a victory? He will distort these Anchorage terms, which they discussed with the American side, with the US president
The president assured that no one would abandon the people and "simply leave" Donbas, since there are no guarantees that putin will not go further.
