This is reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing an interview with the head of state on the channel NBC News. Reports also come from Kontrakty.UA.
"Of course, yes. But there are many losses. We understand how significant they are. I believe it is too much. And I am not sure that at such a pace. If our partners do not help, do not support, it will be difficult. It will take a long time. Longer than it could be," the president stated.
Ukraine is ready to reclaim territories through diplomatic means
Recall that in the same interview, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine will legally never recognize its occupied lands as part of Russia.
At the same time, the head of state mentioned that he is willing to discuss the abandonment of occupied territories within the framework of a diplomatic agreement, according to which the country could join NATO. In such a case, according to Zelensky, the diplomatic route for reclaiming land is clear.
