"More blood will flow -Hundreds of thousands of people…”- Zelenskiy spoke about counteroffensive

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that his country has a new counteroffensive plan amid Russia’s war of invasion. “Yes, we have a counteroffensive plan. We will definitely win. We have no alternative,” Zelenskiy said in an interview with German media outlet Bild. Furthermore, Zelenskiy said Ukrainian troops were doing everything possible to stop Russia’s invasion of northeastern Kharkov city, which is the largest city in Ukraine. “Kharkov is one of the capitals of Ukraine, it has a great symbolic meaning. We are doing everything possible to prevent this from happening. Putin only understands power. His desire is to take over all of Ukraine. He will destroy everything. He will kill a lot of people. There will be much blood. There will be a lot of victims, a lot of losses. I’m talking about hundreds of thousands," Zelenskiy warned. He stressed that Ukrainian Armed Forces needed weapons, including from the United States. “Our partners have certain weapons that we need today to survive. Ukraine needs them to survive, and I just don’t understand why we don’t get these weapons,” the Ukrainian leader said. Zelenskiy said the calls to freeze the war were futile, as the cessation of hostilities would not stop Russia. “This is only until Russia increases production and reserves of military equipment, missiles, drones and analyzes all mistakes made at the start of the war.” Touching upon negotiations with Russia, Zelenskiy said it depended on Vladimir Putin since the Russian president says one thing but acts differently. “We can agree on everything, but the question is whether he will comply with this,” Zelenskiy said.
