President Volodymyr Zelensky says in an interview published by the Economist that the notion that Russia was winning the nearly two-year-old war is only a “feeling” and that Moscow is still suffering heavy battlefield losses.
Zelensky also says there are no real signs that Russia is interested in peace and that any indication that Russia wants talks signifies that Russia is running out of weapons and soldiers.
“I see only the steps of a terrorist country,” he says.
Zelensky also says that hitting Russian strength in Crimea is critical to reducing attacks on Ukraine, as is defending cities in the east of the country.
