After the summer counter-offensive, winter marks the entry of the war in Ukraine into a new phase, says Zelensky.
Winter marks the entry of the war in Ukraine into a new phase, Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview.
The winter season is expected to complicate the fighting after a summer counter-offensive which did not produce the desired results.
The cause: persistent shortages of weapons and land forces.
The President also said he feared that the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza would overshadow the conflict in Ukraine.
Competing political agendas and limited resources would risk reducing military aid to Ukraine, a development that would profoundly hamper his country’s ability to stand up to Russia.
Fueled by tens of billions of dollars in Western military aid, the highly anticipated counter-offensive failed to break the enemy’s defense lines.
Ammunition reserves are dwindling, threatening to lead to a stalemate.
Ukraine did not get all the weapons it needed from its allies, the Ukrainian President regretted.
The country suffered a new air attack from Russia last night which targeted the South and East of the country.
The Ukrainian army claimed to have destroyed two missiles and 18 of 25 Russian drones.
