Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a recent interview with NBC News, detailed key milestones in Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression.

He stated that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine was able to reclaim approximately 50% of the occupied territories within the first few months of fierce combat.

The head of state emphasized that the main challenge was the lack of modern weaponry, as Russia possessed vastly greater resources.

Nevertheless, Ukrainian resolve, determination, and rapid domestic arms production led to significant achievements.

Zelensky also highlighted the importance of faster delivery of military aid, including long-range missile systems like Tomahawk, which could provide a strategic advantage.

He added that Russia remains a long-term threat to Ukraine, making Western support more crucial than ever.

Zelensky called on diplomats to intensify efforts and organize a new meeting of the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ to strengthen joint efforts against the aggressor, reaffirming that Ukraine will never allow the enemy to dictate terms or impose conditions.
