Zelenskyy: Russia is not winning, and we are not losing

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Ukraine cannot regain its territories now, but Russia cannot win either, Sky News reports.

During the conversation, the host notes that the White House often makes statements that Ukraine will not be able to win the war and that the country will have to cede territory for the sake of peace.

When asked if Ukraine can win, Zelenskyy explains that at this stage, it would mean the loss of a large number of people.

"For today, it is very difficult, and there will be too many losses, people's lives. It is really difficult. But what is good is that Russia also can't do it on the battlefield either, so that's why they are not winning, and we are not losing," the President says.

The host also asks why not just give up Sloviansk and Kramatorsk if the priority is to stop the war, and that is the condition.

Zelenskyy, responding to the question, says that this is Ukraine's territory, and it is strange to talk about Ukraine leaving its own land.

Also, withdrawing from these cities would mean that Ukraine would leave 200,000 people under occupation, who could be subjected to what has already happened in other occupied Ukrainian territories.
