Zelensky: Russia wants to end Ukraine's freedom and independence
Kyiv, February 2 (Hibya) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia wants to end Ukraine’s freedom and independence by destroying them.
In an interview, Zelensky emphasized that Russia does not intend to end the war fairly.
He declared that Russia seeks to destroy Ukraine’s freedom and independence and added:
“Putin is afraid of direct negotiations with Ukraine. In his mind, this means defeat and weakness. Instead, he keeps pushing the old narrative that this is a war between the West and Russia, because admitting defeat to Ukraine is unbearable for him.”
Zelensky noted that Putin does not need to defeat Ukraine to claim victory, adding: “If the world compromises with him and lets him go unpunished, it will send a dangerous message: aggression works. Other authoritarian leaders will see that he has destroyed Ukraine’s sovereignty and faced no consequences.”
