Armed Forces counter -offensive: Ukraine wants to show the result to the NATO summit - Zelensky

The President noted that the plans to start the Armed Forces counter -offensive in recent months have slowed. "The pouring rains lasted for a long time, and it slowed some processes," he commented. For this reason, Zelensky asked his European partners to continue to support Ukraine with weapons. He stated that in the fall of 2022, when Ukraine was able to move on a counter -offensive and release the Kharkiv region and the right bank of the Kherson region, the Armed Forces lacked artillery.

"We stopped because we couldn't step. The offensive meant the loss of people, and we had no artillery," he added. According to him, the Ukrainian forces are always cautious. "If I am told that there will be two months and thousands of people die, or if it will be three months and die fewer people. Of course I will choose the second. I would even say it was four or five months and without loss. Between time and people, the most important thing is people, "the President said.

The President of Ukraine is convinced that the United States will continue to support Ukraine, even if the 20124 election will win the US Republican Party. "The United States is a leader in weapons and finances, and we cannot lose it," he said. He noted that US President Joe Biden and both parties in Congress support Ukraine. However, there are dangerous signs of some Republicans. Zelensky also noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to eliminate almost the whole world.

The military rebellion of the head of the Wagner PEC Yevgeny Prigogine is a sign of weakness of the Kremlin regime. "The rebellion and promotion of the Wagnerists means that the country is weak, and it loses control in difficult situations," he said in the Spanish press. According to the Ukrainian leader, this situation is an opportunity that his army should use. It should be reminded that on June 30, on the pond, Zelensky decided to strengthen the north of Ukraine.
