President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine's partners "are afraid of Russia losing the war" and would like Kyiv "to win in such a way that Russia does not lose," Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent.

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv’s allies “fear” Russia’s loss in the war against Ukraine because it would involve “unpredictable geopolitics,” according to Zelensky. “I don’t think it works that way. For Ukraine to win, we need to be given everything with which one can win,” he said.

His statement came on May 16 amid Russia’s large-scale offensive in Kharkiv Oblast and ongoing heavy battles further east. In a week, Russian troops managed to advance as far as 10 kilometers in the northern part of Kharkiv Oblast, according to Zelensky.

    To be honest, we’ll see about the US. With a Trump present who doesn’t like democracy and rule of law, but does like Putin, not sure how much the US can be counted on. Or how long it will stay a free country.

        That is exactly how it self identifies. There is a lot to be questioned it that though. But it’s a lot freer than China or Russia or many others.

            Like I said, that’s literally how a child sees the world.

            Insulting people and implying people do not think things through. While most of your replies consist of giving insults. With some weird suggestion that free can only mean the amount of people in prison.

            Egg on your face, no?

            It literally calls itself the leader of the free world.

            Yes it jails waaaayyyy too many of its own people, but voting and the rule of law still mostly work. Unlike countries like China and Russia.
