It is necessary for Russia to wait for the offensive of Ukraine and thought about how to leave our territory - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

And did it stop? He was just a different power. Let's make the Russians sit and think when the Ukrainian offensive begins. And they thought how to leave our territory, ”Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. Answering the journalists' questions about what equipment and weapons are needed today, the President emphasized that the needs depend on both the situation on the battlefield in specific areas and what is happening within our country.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy recalled that the enemy has thousands of units of armored machinery, albeit Soviet production. “Of course, the latest technique of NATO standards, the Western sample is better. But you can have the top ten tanks in the world, and there will be thousands of Soviet -made tanks against you. Then you have no chance. And we do not agree to such a result, because we do not have a way out. This is our land, and we will definitely win.

That is why tanks, armored equipment, fighters - we have given them a lot of time today and made an important first step, ”said Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to him, he will discuss these issues today and tomorrow during meetings with European leaders. The President stressed that one of the priorities is a long -range weapon, and he is very happy that the United Kingdom has heard Ukraine's needs. “I would very much like other states to hear us.

The first step-Mr.

Prime Minister officially said-that we can start training our pilots, ”the Head of State said. At the same time, he noted that this issue does not depend on the will of the United Kingdom. For his part, Risha Snak emphasized that his country knows about the needs of Ukraine and is one of the leaders in assistance. He recalled that the Challenger tanks will be on the front in a few weeks, and the British side is doing everything to prepare the Ukrainian military to use as soon as possible.

According to the Prime Minister, the topic of transmission of fighter aircraft was also discussed during negotiations with the President of Ukraine. “We are ready to provide everything, but at first there should be pilots, ready to operate such complex weapons. Because when it comes to completely new fighters, it takes three years to prepare pilots. There are already fighter pilots in Ukraine, but they still need to be learned. This is what we discussed with Mr.
