Quote:"He[Russian ruler Vladimir Putin – ed.]occupied about 890 km this year, and we deoccupied 800[km]. So that means that in different directions he has 90, okay, let's say an additional 100 km over the year. It is many times less than it was before, when they[the Russians – ed.] wereoccupying about 3,000-4,000 [km] a year."
Details:Zelenskyy said Russian losses amount to 270,000 people. "You can understand the price of 100 km – high price. He[Putin – ed.]is neither winning nor losing," the president said.
Zelenskyy noted that almost everything has come to a standstill on the battlefield, despite the Kremlin leader talking about Russia's successes. Asked if he believes that Russian generals are not telling Putin the truth about the current situation on the battlefield, Zelenskyy replied in the affirmative.
The president added that, for Putin, losing people in the war is not a loss. But Russian society is losing people and money, paying a high price for the sake of capturing 100 km of Ukrainian territory.
