According to him, in a certain sense, "this could have surprised them (the Americans – ed.)," because "Russian propaganda also directly works with them."
We recently calculated that one kilometer of occupied Ukrainian land costs them 170 casualties. These are people killed or wounded so severely that they do not return. We have all the evidence of this. To claim that in these last six months they are winning somewhere? No
– the head of state noted.
He also spoke about how this state of affairs affects the negotiation process.
The tactic we chose is for the Americans not to think that we want to continue the war. It's not enough just to say that we don't want to continue fighting. That's why we started supporting their proposals in any format. When they say, "Let's meet sooner!", we say, "Of course!" "Are you ready to freeze the line where you are now?" "We are ready." "Are you ready for any compromises?" "Only if the other side wants a compromise." "Are you ready to meet with the Russians in America?" "It doesn't matter to us where, except Moscow"
– Zelenskyy said.
He added that the Russians must "leave all our territory," but today this is impossible.
"As for their proposals for a 'free economic zone' and so on, for us it simply means leaving our territory. I don't see any justice in that. It's wrong," the President summarized.
