Zelenskyy: Putin "lost the initiative" amid changing dynamics by Ukraine's military technologies
Kyiv • UNN
President Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has created 500 technology companies that changed the dynamics of the war. He emphasized that Putin loses 30,000 soldiers every month, but does not want to end the war.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with Fox News that the Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has lost the initiative in the war, arguing that Ukraine's military technologies have changed the dynamics of the battlefield, reports UNN.
Since the beginning of the war, when Putin said he would occupy us within two or three days, now we are building a great military-technological industry. We have 500 companies with very strong technologies
The President of Ukraine said the conflict has turned into an innovation race, where strategy is constantly evolving, as weapons such as drones quickly become obsolete if not adapted.
"We understand that this war changes every three to six months. We must change technologies," he noted.
"We must be faster than Putin, because Putin has more people... and we must save our people and use more technology than [their] people," Zelenskyy pointed out.
Ukraine has demonstrated the ability to strike military targets deep inside Russia.
Zelenskyy said the increase in his country's military capabilities has shifted the momentum away from Moscow.
Putin is losing 30,000 soldiers every month. There are many losses, but he does not want to stop this war. But now the initiative is not in Putin's hands
Zelenskyy said Kyiv continues to push for a ceasefire that could pave the way for a final settlement.
"We ask to stop this war every day... to agree on a ceasefire for a certain period of time and give diplomats the opportunity to negotiate. But Putin does not want that. That is the problem," Zelenskyy noted, adding that they last spoke in 2020.
