Today, Ukraine still lacks weapons to move forward, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with the Financial Times. He also explained that he considers victory in the war unleashed against our state by Russia.

“I believe that this war for independence and for the freedom of our state. Independence in my understanding and the majority of our citizens is the return of our territories, territorial integrity and our unshakable sovereignty... I believe that this will be a great victory for the long-suffering people. But today I believe that, indeed, the return to the borders that we controlled completely on February 24 is a very serious temporary victory,” Zelensky said..

He explained that it was temporary, because there should be a complete de-occupation of Ukrainian territories.. At the same time, Zelensky believes that, first of all, victory should be on the battlefield, or a strong and strong situation on the battlefield.

“When we can see our positions, see the appropriate equipment, our powerful force, not inferior to the number of Russian equipment, at least we are moving towards this and really want this... Because we have more desire, but so far we have less equipment. Therefore, we cannot move forward too powerfully... Until this happens, it will be difficult for us to act and there will be big losses, ”the president added.

At the same time, he noted that there should be a permanent interest of the West in supporting the sovereignty of Ukraine and our position. There can be no talk about Ukraine behind the back or agreements.

“There can be no expectation among certain leaders of some countries that we will weaken our positions, we still have to wait, that we will be exhausted economically, infrastructurally, we will have a shortage of money, fuel. And then, as they say, " Ukraine, our state will not be like this. We have already lost a lot of people just to give away our territories,” Zelensky said..
