"We need weapons, the Russians do not want to speak." Zelensky told about talking with partners on the preparation of Russian invasion

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told how he responded to signals from foreign partners that Russia is preparing for a full -scale invasion. In an interview with The Washington Post, published on Tuesday, August 16, the Head of State said that all warnings or signals from partners said that Ukraine needed weapons. ". . . if we have insufficient weapons, it will be difficult for us to fight. We will fight them, it is for sure. They do not want to speak. That the Russians are ready to speak is a delusion.

I explained it clearly. All we need is a weapon, and if you have the opportunity, make him sit with me at the negotiating table. I spoke specifically about it because We believed that there would be an invasion, "Zelensky said. Video of the day, according to the President, if the authorities reported to the Ukrainians that the Russian country is preparing a full-scale invasion, it would sow chaos and collapse the economy.

"… In general, our inner feeling was correct: if we sow chaos among the population before the invasion, the Russians will devour us. Because during chaos people flee from the country. And when the invasion began, we were as strong as we could. Some of our people went, But most remained here, they fought for their homes. And no matter how cynically it sounded, these people stopped everything. If it happened in October - God forbid, in the heating season, there would be nothing left, "he added.

When asked by the interviewer about the arrival of CIA William Burns Director of CIA in January, Zelensky replied that he received signals about his life. According to him, the same signals came from both Ukrainian special services and from their foreign colleagues.

He said that the aggressor country waged a hybrid war against Ukraine and planned energy and political strokes (a change in power to puppet inside the country), and in the fall, a financial blow aimed at destabilizing the situation during the heating season. "They did this to stop being a country, and by the time they were invaded were a cloth . . . Here they were betting on. We didn't go for it . . . ", "the president emphasized.
