Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a new important statement regarding the end of the war with Russia. During his visit to the United States, where he spoke at the UN General Assembly in New York, the head of state gave an interview to ABC News, sharing his thoughts on a possible end to the war.
We are closer to peace than we think
One of the main messages of the president was that the end of the war may come sooner than many people imagine. According to Zelensky, Ukraine is approaching peace, and this is not just an optimistic statement but a certainty based on real factors.
“I think we are closer to peace than we think. We are closer to the end of the war. We just need to be very strong,” Zelensky stated.
But for victory, the president pointed out, Ukraine must secure a strong position on the battlefield. This, in his opinion, is the key to negotiations and a real victory over the aggressor.
Strong position – the key to victory
Zelensky has repeatedly emphasized that Ukraine’s success in the war directly depends on the support of Western partners. The supply of weapons from the United Kingdom and the United States, which help Ukrainian soldiers effectively defend their territory, is of particular importance. However, the president added that for achieving real results, Ukraine must have the ability to act on the enemy’s territory.
That’s why Zelensky appealed to partners to allow Ukraine to use Western weapons for strikes deep into Russia. This could be an important strategic step that would significantly weaken Russia’s position and increase pressure on it both from within and externally.
Operation in the Kursk region: Putin’s fear
One of the important topics of the interview was the discussion of the situation surrounding operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region of Russia. Zelensky openly stated that these actions provoke great fear in Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“He is very afraid. Why? Because his people have seen that he cannot protect them, cannot protect his entire territory,” Zelensky noted.
These words confirm that the operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the territory of Russia make Putin feel vulnerable and uncertain in his abilities. This tactic allows Ukraine not only to defend its borders but also to influence the morale of the Russian government.
Losses of the Ukrainian army: debunking fakes
In his interview, Zelensky also commented on the spread information in some foreign media about alleged significant losses of the Ukrainian army on the front. The President clearly debunked these rumors, emphasizing that they are fake news trying to discredit Ukraine’s efforts in the war.
Western media outlets have repeatedly tried to spread information about large losses on the Ukrainian side, but Zelensky assured that Ukraine continues to successfully resist the enemy, and the losses of the Russian army are much greater.
International support and peace prospects
During his speech at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky not only emphasized the importance of Western assistance but also presented a plan for Ukraine’s victory, which includes several crucial steps. Among them:
- Improving the effectiveness of military support from allies;
- Involving new international partners in joint actions;
- Strengthening sanctions against Russia.
These steps aim not only to secure victory on the battlefield but also to strengthen Ukraine’s position on the international stage to prevent similar aggressions in the future.
Will 2024 be the year of the end of the war?
Despite all the difficulties facing Ukraine, it becomes increasingly clear with each passing day that the support of the world and the determination of the Ukrainian people are bringing peace closer. Therefore, many experts believe that as early as 2024, we may witness the end of this war.
In conclusion, President Zelensky’s interview with ABC News has become another confirmation that Ukraine is confidently moving towards victory. Thanks to the bravery of the military, the support of the international community, and a clear action plan, peace is approaching. And Russia, despite all its efforts to stop this process, is losing its influence both on the battlefield and in the eyes of its own citizens.
Ukraine continues to fight for its independence and sovereignty, with President Zelensky remaining a reliable leader in this challenging time. The president’s interview underscores that peace is closer than it seems, and that with the support of partners and the unwavering determination of the people, Ukraine will inevitably triumph in this war.
