The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the American TV channel Newsmax, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The situation is very difficult. We’re losing 60-100 soldiers per day as killed in action and something around 500 people as wounded in action. So we are holding our defensive perimeters. The most difficult situation is in the east of Ukraine and southern Donetsk and Luhansk,” Zelensky told.
In his words, Putin cannot win, and the world must stop defending him amid the latest atrocities committed by Russian troops.
“Now, he [Putin – Ed.] is almost isolated. The world always keeps giving him a chance, because the sanctions are not imposed completely. There are gaps in some of the leaders saying the Russian leader should be offered with a way out,” the President of Ukraine noted.
According to Zelensky, the weakness of Putin and Russia is not only in failing to occupy a smaller neighboring nation but also in attempts to take him out as leader.
“Attempting to kill the leader of this or that country is a weakness, I would say. If you can’t talk, then it’s a weakness. The weakness is to start the war, and they’ve already demonstrated there is weakness. If you can’t occupy that country, that’s a weakness. And simultaneously, if you would like something to happen to the family of the other country’s leader then that’s a political inability to do anything,” Zelensky added.
A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching air and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages, torturing and murdering civilians.

The “pandemic” wasn’t working fast enough.
War is hell.
It was all avoidable.
Leftist - We must give assault weapons to every Ukrainian to preserve democracy in Ukraine!
Also leftist - We must disarm all Americans because it is a threat to democracy in America!
In before FR’s paid Globohomoists tell you you’re a Puton supporter...
I wonder if maybe he ought to have taken the deal offered back about a month and a half ago.
Exactly right; arm and fund Zelenskyyy and disarm Americans. We are in a street fight and most haven’t a clue.

Just to compare notes, I see that the electric bill at my Datcha north of Moscow dropped significantly last month. I have to credit this to Grand Master Putin. How about your bill, same drop, no?
A real moral booster for the U-kraine army !!!
Give them a new patch ?
To try to get inside Zelenskyy’s head fir a minute, it must be eating him up inside for him and his country to be being slow-motion crushed by a man he so accurately describes as weak and contemptible.
In other words, Zelenskyy, being even weaker and less capable in his role as defender than is Putin in his role as wheezing and stumbling attacker, is being forced to face this inescapable fact directly in the face. You can hear it in his words and when honestly discussing the personnel losses Ukraine is suffering. This situation is absolutely killing him, rven as he tries to put up a brave face for the benefit of rest of his countyrmen.
Trump killed hundreds of Russian soldiers.
So glad he did.

Well, if Zelensky says they’re losing that much, then a good rule of thumb would be to double or triple it.
Yes, I get the same Russian discount. Biden will need to kick up his stimulus checks to get me back in the fold.
Don’t know how in the world this could get through the MSN/CNN/NYT/WAPO/MSNBC filter. Something went terribly wrong.
So, Zelensky admits to 100 deaths a day and 500 injured. What he is really saying is more like 500 a day dead and 5000 a day injured. For what good reason? So Zelensky can continue his clown/acting Zoom meetings in western legislative bodies.
Trump had Putin in a box with a real foreign policy, yet here you are cheering on Biden and this mess he has us in.
Won’t be long before those Uke troops will be wearing patches with the image of St. George Floyd on them.
And how many soldiers per day is Russia losing? The latest military analysis is that Russia has stopped attacking with armor and infantry and his now relying on massive artillery bombardments to simply destroy places. Reportedly, Russian soldiers are in a state of mutiny, and may soon be legally able to leave Ukraine because no war was actually declared. It will be interesting to see what the U.S. sending longer range missiles to the Ukies will do in the war on the ground.
