Volodymyr Zelenskyy: We do not attack either Putin nor Moscow - we protect our villages and cities

Ukraine is not engaged in attacks on Russia or its president, but protects its independence and territorial integrity. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during communication with media representatives on the results of the Ukrainian Summit - Northern Europe in Helsinki. Answering the journalist's question about the recent span of the UAP over the Kremlin in Moscow, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “We do not attack either Putin nor Moscow.

We are fighting in our own territory, we protect our villages and cities. " The head of state added that Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of weapons to ensure its defense, so the Ukrainian army does not use it anywhere except the battlefield. “We can't use anything and anywhere. Therefore, we did not attack Putin. We will leave it the tribunal, ”he stated.

Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his belief that the Russian leader has accused Ukraine of an alleged attack and attempting to attempt him because Russia has no victories in the battlefield in the war in Ukraine. Therefore, such statements are used by Russian steering to justify the continuation of aggression. “He can no longer motivate his society and just send the death of the military. He can no longer motivate his state. He has no victories on the battlefield. The second army of the world lost.

They are unable to occupy Ukraine. They have repelled from us. Now he needs to somehow motivate these people to go forward, ”the head of the Ukrainian state said. “They lost this war - they lost as a state, have lost historically… That's what is happening. And now he needs to do something sharp - the attempts, the drones, then we had some geese that bombed them . . . That is, they will invent certain steps every day, ”Vladimir Zelensky added.

At the same time, the president noted that instead of inventing another provocation, the Russian authorities can simply withdraw troops from the Ukrainian territory and thus overcome the difficult situation for themselves. “No one has to intimidate, you do not have to use weapons - we need to get out of our territory. Absolutely everyone, even the states of NATO or out of the European Union on different continents - all recognize the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Therefore, getting out of our territory would be a solution. It is much easier than the use of various information or any manipulation, ”the head of state emphasized. Asked if the Russian Federation's statements about alleged attack by Ukrainian drones to influence the continuation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, whose duty duty in May, Vladimir Zelensky noted that it does not see Russia's interest in extension of its validity, but the interest of other parties should be.

“We are not looking for Russia's interest, we are looking for an agreement with our partners. With regard to the grain initiative, we have a clear arrangement with Anthony Guterrze, the UN Secretary General, and with Turkish President Erdogan. Our arrangements are ongoing. We plan to continue our initiative. They, for their part, have a conversation with the Russian side, they must coordinate with them the continuation of this corridor, which is so needed by other countries of the world.
