In an interview or statement to the media, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that in the current international situation, Russia has no real chance of victory. According to Zelenskyy, Vladimir Putin could only succeed in the event of a "very, very prolonged" war, provided that the international sanctions against Russia are lifted and the support for Ukraine is discontinued.

"Another condition is the cessation of assistance from all partners, which would leave Ukraine to fight alone. But under the current conditions, Putin will certainly not win," Zelenskyy said. The President called for the preservation of international unity regarding Ukraine, as this is a key factor in countering Russian aggression.
