During the full -scale war, Ukraine returned 50% of the occupied territories - Zelensky

He does not want the strong Trump to support Ukraine because it would be strong Ukraine," he explained. Zelensky reported that since the beginning of the full -scale war in 2022, Ukraine returned 50% of the territories that previously controlled the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "We would like to make a fair end of this war. We are not afraid. Russia is not so strong, but we do not want to lose more of our lives, men and women," he said.

The President assured that Putin did not seek the end of the war. At the same time, Ukraine does not agree to recognize the occupation of its territories. Zelensky urged to increase the pressure on the Kremlin, in particular from China to reach a peaceful agreement and wider security guarantees. "I believe that guarantees of one alone will never be enough. Europeans understand that without guarantees of US security, Trump will not be enough from President Trump. Putin is not afraid of Europe.

Unfortunately, this is so," he said. The leader remembered how a full -scale invasion asked the White House to prevent sanctions against the Russian Federation and to give weapons to Ukraine. However, Joe Biden refused to promise help only if the troops were coming. In parallel, Kyiv appealed to the EU, but could not support without US approval. "Therefore, they always look at the leader, the United States, as a leader.

So, during a large invasion, the Ukrainians remained ourselves, we fought ourselves," Zelensky emphasized. According to him, if Trump has the desire to force Putin to peace, he has this opportunity. However, the President expressed his hope that a potential agreement would not only be a piece of paper. "We want him to be on the side of justice, on the side of Ukraine," he added.
