Russian troops are stepping up activity in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, Zelenskyy said in his latest national address, APA reports citing The Guardian.
They are trying to retaliate for their defeats. Rocket bombings and artillery strikes continue. New columns of equipment are being brought in. They are looking for reserves. They are trying to recruit residents of the south of our country - that is, from these temporarily occupied areas in addition to the so-called mobilisation in certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
However, Zelenskyy noted that the recent “feverish activity” of Russian forces reflects Russia’s insecurity and inability to defeat Ukraine.
Even with significant stocks of Soviet military equipment and a significant number of soldiers, whom the commanders do not spare at all, the Russian troops doubt their ability to break us, to break Ukraine. Well, we do everything to justify their doubts.”
“This war against Ukraine can only end in Russia’s strategic defeat - sooner or later,” he added.
"Either the Russian leadership will really seek peace, or as a result of this war, Russia will leave the international arena forever,” noted Zelenskyy.
