"In our eyes fatigue, but the Russians have fear": Zelensky told about the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces

According to the President, the counter -offensive is difficult and we must be patient if we want to win. A positive fact is that the Ukrainian army is in the offensive phase rather than retreating.

"The counter -offensive is complex.

Progress is probably slower than some want or imagine. All these are minor things. Because there are mines in some sections of the front, and other areas are other complications . . . They can be talked about. What is right and what is wrong. But a counter -offensive is an army, not a departure. And this is an important positive moment. Initiative on the side of Ukraine, "the President said.

Zelensky added that it is not easy to fight, when you lack certain weapons and it is difficult for Ukrainian soldiers, but it is even more difficult for the Russians. "In our eyes, fatigue, but in their (Russians - ed. ) There is fear and these are two different things. We have to be patient if we want to win," the head of state said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy assured that Ukraine does not plan to continue the war in the Russian territory, for us the main thing is to liberate our own, because it is our land. "Ukraine is not going to continue the war on the territory of the Russian Federation, it has never been our goal. We release only our own territories. They are where they go and we are not. They are where they go and we are not. Because it is our only land," Zelensky emphasized.

The President also commented on the situation in the Black Sea. He recalled that Russia blocked the Black Sea and, in particular, the territorial waters of Ukraine. So now our country has to prove that in its territorial waters it has the right to import and export goods. "Ukraine has to prove that Ukraine has the right to import and export products in its territorial waters. If there is a blockade, Ukraine has to find another way to stop the blockade of our waters.

Ukraine will do the same as it is a fair protection of our interests, "Vladimir Zelensky said. Recall that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to build kilometers of fortifications during the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. The invaders built tens of kilometers of structures in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions, including near Andreevka and Kodma. In addition, on August 4, the Armed Forces reported how the front line changed during the Ukrainian offensive.
