As Zelensky explained in an interview with Sky News, two attempts on the offensive of Russian troops were completely failed by the Ukrainian forces. The results of the third operation have not yet been determined, but the President noted that the next or two will allow to evaluate the loss of the enemy and the effectiveness of his actions.
"Two offensive operations we completely disrupted and the third I think that a day or two and we will realize that they have suffered great losses and nothing happened. But I need one more days to say it in public," he said. The President of Ukraine also emphasizes that Vladimir Putin reacts only to the demonstration of force, and the diplomatic requests of the West are not able to stop the war in Ukraine.
According to him, clear actions are needed to restrain the Russian leadership, and the United States, along with European countries, can effectively influence Putin through force. At the same time, Zelensky expressed his readiness to negotiate with US and Russian Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin without any preliminary conditions.
He excluded a meeting in Moscow, emphasizing that it was impossible to come to the aggressor country during active shelling, but a meeting in the third, safe country remains a possible option. "I cannot go to the country, to this city, Moscow that attacks us. It is impossible to go under rockets in their capital. But we can meet in any other country," Zelensky said.
In an interview with Sky News, the President of Ukraine also affected the subject of security guarantees, noting that they are almost ready on paper. The details of their implementation are currently being discussed, including the format of US participation, the number of foreign troops and other key elements that can ensure the effectiveness of these guarantees.
In addition, the Head of State stressed that Ukraine insists on the proper support of its defense forces within the framework of these guarantees. He added that the security issue is critical and defined specific requirements as "red lines" for negotiations. It should be reminded that, according to the head of the subcommittee on state security, defense and defense innovations Fedir Venislavsky, the war of Russia against Ukraine may end in 107 days.
