President Zelensky: Ukraine needs greater assistance than what it receives now

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with CNN, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“There will not be enough assistance [to Ukraine – Ed.], it is impossible to have enough. ‘Enough’ is much greater than what we receive today. Unfortunately, we have neither technical nor arms advantage over the enemy. We are not at the same level. But, we have stronger people. Most importantly, we have the goal and mission. We know what for and where we are fighting. We are defending our land, defending our families,” the President of Ukraine told.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine is paying a high cost, the lives of people, for fighting now.

“In any case… You will choose, where is that very compromise with the Russian Federation to sit down at the negotiating table with the President of Russia,” Zelensky noted.

Zelensky stressed that Ukraine cannot give up its territories, but there must be ways of establishing a dialogue with Russia.

“But, there are such moments as Bucha, Borodianka, Volnovakha, Izium, Mariupol, after which nobody wants to talk. Our society does not want… Today Ukraine, the people of Ukraine and the state have a clear understanding: we do not need something that does not belong to us but will not give anything of our own,” the President of Ukraine added.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching air and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages, torturing and murdering civilians.
