Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated this in an interview with CBS News, without specifying which direction he was talking about.
Zelensky noted that while Ukrainian troops were able to hold off the Russians during the attempted big Rashi offensive in recent months, they are not yet prepared to defend against another great Russian offensive expected in the coming months.
And before that, we not only need to prepare, we need not only to stabilize the situation, because partners are sometimes very happy that we have stabilized the situation, Zelensky emphasized. – No, I’m saying that we need help now.
He stressed that what Ukraine needs most is American Patriot air defense systems and artillery.
In what has become a brutal artillery war of attrition, Russia not only has the advantage of greater firepower, but also firepower with greater range, Zelensky said.
And in Bakhmut, and in Avdovka, and in Lisichansk, and in Soledar, and so on, it was difficult to fight the enemy, whose artillery can fire more than 20 kilometers,” he emphasized.
Zelensky’s meeting with journalists took place during a trip to Sumy, where he inspected freshly dug underground bunkers in the outskirts of the city.
He noted that the entire area is on alert in response to a significant Russian troop buildup across the border and attacks on nearby villages.
Usually when they attack with artillery and destroy villages, after that they always try to occupy them,” he emphasized. – We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Therefore we must prepare.
