The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have the necessary resources to retake territories occupied by the Russian army, declared Ukrainian President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Our army lacks the strength to do that. That is true. We do have to find diplomatic solutions,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with Kyodo News, the latter reports.
However, he noted that Kyiv will switch to diplomacy "only when we know that we are strong enough" that Russia cannot launch a new aggression against Ukraine.
Also, Zelenskyy underscored that the war has entered a "complicated period," said support for his country from its partners is "not enough," and urged NATO to invite Kyiv for membership talks with the transatlantic military alliance as soon as possible.
