President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that despite the success of Ukrainian fighters and Russian losses, the Russian aggressors still do not have the courage to admit defeat and withdraw from Ukrainian soil.

Quote: "The Russians have already properly felt what modern artillery is, and they will not have a safe rear anywhere on our land they have occupied. They have felt that the operations of our reconnaissance officers protecting our Homeland are many orders of magnitude stronger than any of their ‘special operations’.

As we know from intercepts of their conversations, Russian soldiers are openly afraid of our Armed Forces. 139 days of this war, almost 20 weeks, the so-called second world army is afraid of the Ukrainians and is only able to do anything using the bottomless stores of ancient Soviet weapons.

They no longer have any strategic strength, character or understanding of what they are even doing here, on our soil. There is not even a crumb of courage to admit defeat and withdraw troops from Ukrainian territory."

Details: Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine will be able to defend and rebuild itself, as well as realise all its foreign policy goals: "When millions of people genuinely work towards this [goal] - each and every one at their own level - a result will certainly follow."
