President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky explained whether it is realistic to take back Crimea and the rest of the occupied territories.

He said this during a conversation at the Ukrainian House in Davos.

The President was reminded that a few days ago, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, General Kirill Budanov, said that Russia would lose and Ukraine would take back all the temporarily lost territories, and this would be done by force, only by force, because there is no other way.

When asked if he agreed with General Budanov, Zelensky replied that he really liked General Budanov and respected his opinion.

“I always agree with the professionals…” the president said.

Zelensky also explained whether the intention to take Crimea back is realistic and feasible.

“Today, I’m sure that these are hundreds of thousands of killed soldiers from our side. I don’t count people from the other side, from the side of the enemy. On our side, there are hundreds of thousands of dead. Mr. Budanov is a professional person. I want to finish one about him. You will probably understand some details. You know, I shouldn’t comment on some things. Mr. Budanov carried out a very serious operation with his subordinates, which was in Afghanistan. And indeed, these were very, very powerful steps. And he “A heroic person absolutely. And now he is engaged in very important operations, which I am not ready to talk about. He has enough courage. Indeed, I think that he himself could return this or that territory. But this is his courage, this is his confidence “, and I am very glad that our military has such a spirit. This is the most important thing. It cannot be lost, and they do not lose it. But there is a price, there is a price for everything …” the president summed up.

Recall that Zelensky said he was ready for a direct meeting with Putin , but named the only condition.

Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky said that the war would end with the victory of Ukraine, because there is simply no other way out .
