Zelensky on return of territories seized by Russia: It is impossible now, but it is matter of time
He said this in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC, Ukrinform reports.
"I believe that stopping Putin today and preventing him from occupying Ukraine is a victory for the whole world. Because Putin will not stop at Ukraine,” Zelensky stated.
He added that today, the return of Ukrainian lands temporarily occupied by Russia would cost Kyiv millions of lives.
"And we also don't have enough weapons. That depends not just on us, but on our partners. So, as of now, that's not possible, but returning to the just borders of 1991 [the year Ukraine declared its independence, precipitating the final collapse of the Soviet Union] without a doubt, is not only a victory, it's justice. Ukraine's victory is the preservation of our independence, and a victory of justice for the whole world is the return of all our lands," the president emphasized.
According to him, Ukraine is currently fighting for its independence.
As reported by Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Defense Forces liberated 300 square kilometers in the south of the country during counterattack operations.
