According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russia should prepare its citizens for the loss of occupied territories. Russia has not only destroyed its own future in order to take the territories, but will also lose all territories, Zelenskyy said in his nightly video distributed in Kiev on Sunday evening. “There is no alternative to our de-occupation steps and there will be none.” Step by step, Ukrainian forces were moving forward to liberate their country, he said.
Zelenskyi announced that Ukraine expects new military aid commitments from its allies in the coming week. On the visit of representatives of several African countries to the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, he said: They could have been convinced there that Ukraine was out for peace, while Russia wanted war to “continue to destroy life”.
According to the African delegation with representatives from South Africa, Egypt, Senegal, Zambia, the Republic of Congo and Uganda, they developed a ten-point plan as part of their peace initiative. After almost 16 months of Russian war of aggression, the hope of success is extremely slim. Before their visit to St. Petersburg, the delegation visited Zelenskyy in Kiev on Friday. This presupposes the withdrawal of Russian troops for negotiations.
In his video, Zelenskyi poked fun at Putin, who claimed in St. Petersburg on Friday that Russian forces in Kiev had already destroyed five US Patriot anti-aircraft systems. According to US media, however, there are only two of these systems in Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader said all systems are intact. “Not a single patriot is destroyed!” he stressed. In the past seven days alone, three dozen Russian missiles have been destroyed.
