Putin Will Never Give Up His Attempts To Capture Ukraine — Zelenskyy

Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention of relinquishing his ambition to fully occupy Ukraine, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy made these remarks in an interview with Canadian public broadcaster CBC. He stated that Putin's goal is to seize all of Ukraine, and he will continue with this objective if the world remains passive and if security guarantees are not provided.

Zelenskyy emphasized that he is prepared to engage in direct negotiations with Putin in the pursuit of peace, although he is not eager to do so as he views Putin as an enemy. Zelenskyy suggested that discussions with an enemy may be necessary for the sake of achieving a result that brings them closer to peace. He acknowledged that defeating Russia in a military conflict would be challenging due to the inevitable loss of life.

Defeating Russia is a difficult endeavor, as during any offensive, casualties are inevitable. Zelenskyy highlighted that in the 21st century, discussing such a high price for victory is particularly distressing. Ukraine has reportedly received confirmation that the first FREYJA anti-ballistic system will be operational by the end of the year, as stated previously.
