President Vladimir Zelensky, in a traditional video message, said that Russia was gradually retreating into the eastern Black Sea, but did not respond to Zaluzhny’s controversial column in The Economist magazine.
Source: Zelensky’s address on November 2
Direct speech: “I am grateful to everyone who is fighting and working so that Ukraine maintains access to the world market. The results are good: Russia is gradually losing control of the Black Sea and retreating to the eastern part of the water area. We will reach there too.”
Details: The president also thanked the United States for the new powerful sanctions decision. Thanks to him, more than 220 Russian – and not only Russian – entities working for aggression are now under US sanctions.
What preceded:
The Economist 1 November published column by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny. There, in particular, he stated that he believed that the war with Russia was moving to a new stage of “positional” struggle with static and exhausting battles. To win it, you need high technology. He also wrote that the situation at the front has reached a dead end, when neither side can advance, because it is still technologically equipped. To him it looks like the events of the First World War.
