Zelensky says no cease-fire without recovering land lost to Russia

DUBAI, 23 July 2022, (TON): According to an interview with the Wall Street Journal “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a cease-fire with Russia without reclaiming lost territories would only prolong the war.”

He warned that a cease-fire that allows Russia to keep Ukrainian territories seized since the invasion in February would only encourage an even wider conflict, giving Moscow an opportunity to replenish and rearm for the next round.

Zelensky also spoke about US-supplied high mobility artillery rocket systems, saying, “the Western supplies of Himars, while making a material difference, are much lower than what Ukraine needs to turn the tide.”

“Freezing the conflict with the Russian Federation means a pause that gives the Russian Federation a break for rest,” the Wall Street Journal reported, citing comments by Zelensky.
