Zelensky urges allies: Send arms now or face unpredictable defeat
Volodymyr Zelensky firmly appealed to Kyiv's allies for immediate military aid deliveries. "Ukraine's partners are afraid of Russia's wartime defeat and want Ukraine to win, but in such a way that Russia does not lose," he said.
"They would like Ukraine to win in such a way that Russia does not lose. That would be an unpredictable defeat and unpredictable geopolitics. I believe it doesn't work that way," Zelensky said during a press conference on Friday at 2:00 PM Eastern Time.
"For Ukraine to win, we must receive everything that victory encompasses," added the president.
Zelensky spoke out. He talked about the situation on the front
Zelensky also addressed the situation in the northern part of the Kharkiv region, which borders Russia. Enemy forces have been intensively attacking this area since May 10. He assured that the Russians had not managed to reach the defence lines, which are located further from the border.
"No one has reached the concrete defence line; what they (the Russians) say is nonsense. The first line is not the border, you cannot build there (...). That's roughly where they are now. This is the first line, the line built during the war, under constant shelling, by our military. The first and second lines were built by the military, and the third line was built by local authorities. It is the strongest—not because they are better than the military, but simply because it is further from the weapons, missiles, and shelling," he emphasized.
