Ukraine is ready to launch its counter-offensive to recapture Russian-occupied areas, says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
– We firmly believe that we will succeed, he says in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, which was published on Saturday.
– I don’t know how long it will take. To be honest, it can go many ways, completely different. But we will do it, and we are ready, he says.
In May, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine must receive more armored vehicles from Western countries before the long-announced counter-offensive can begin. After this, Zelenskyj has attended a number of meetings abroad where he has pressed for more defense material to be delivered.
