Zelenskyi also added that it is necessary to significantly increase global pressure on Russia every month.

“The enemy is at a specific stage when Russia’s strategic defeat is already clear. But tactically, they still have the resources to attempt offensive actions. They are looking for options to try to change the course of the war and are trying to use the potential of all the territories they control so far at the service of aggression. We A must continue what we are doing: strengthen our stability, be absolutely united in our desire to provide our army and all defenders with the necessary weapons and equipment – we in Ukraine must speak with one voice to the world regarding defense supplies,” the head of state said.

According to him, there are various scenarios of what could happen in Russia after its defeat in Ukraine becomes even more clear.
