Can We Win This Battle? Of Course, We Can - Zelensky

Kiev is not ready to make territorial concessions to end the war with Russia, as such a step would only give Moscow the opportunity to pause before initiating a new conflict. This was announced today by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, during a speech at the French Parliament.

As reported by dw.com, the Ukrainian president's office has published a video of his speech on YouTube. The parliamentary hall was not completely filled, but the attending lawmakers greeted the leader of the Ukrainian state with loud applause.

Zelensky expressed confidence that Ukraine will be able to win the war against Russia. “Can we win this battle? Of course, yes. We can. Ukraine can, therefore, Europe can, Europe, and therefore France. I am as confident in that as I am in France. Can Putin win the war? No, because we do not have the right to lose. Can this war be frozen along the current frontlines? No, because there are no frontlines for evil—be it 80 years ago or now,” Zelensky continued.
