He also said that no one is pressuring him.
President Volodymyr Zelensky does not consider the situation on the front line to be a stalemate and says that Ukraine will not negotiate with Russia, read the Ukrainska Pravda .
"It's not a stalemate. Russia rules the sky"
Commenting on an article in The Economist magazine by Valery Zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, that there was a stalemate on the front line, Zelenskyy said that the situation was not a stalemate. In his words: “This is not a stalemate. Russia rules the skies. We protect our army.
Nobody wants to just throw away their people like Russia throws them away like meat…”
Zelensky recalled that last year everyone thought they were in a stalemate. "A few military tricks, and they remembered, the Kharkiv area was liberated," he said. "We have no right to give up. What is the alternative? Should we give up a third of our country? That would be just the beginning," Zelensky said.
"No one is putting pressure on me today"
"We need to work more with our partners on air defense, lift the skies and allow our soldiers to conduct offensive operations"
he added. The Ukrainian president also denied reports that his partners were pressuring him to start negotiations with Russia.
As he said: “Everyone knows my attitude, which coincides with the attitude of Ukrainian society. No one is pressuring me today. All this was the case at the beginning of the war and before the war.
It's not going to be like we sit down with Russia and talk to it and give it something."
he emphasized.
