The Ukrainian army will carry out a counter-offensive without the help of Western aviation, declared Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stressing that “there is no more time to lose”.

  • Modern aviation would help us a lot in the counter-offensive. There is no time to lose, so we will start before we get Western fighters, – said on the Telegram channel of the office of the President of Ukraine.

Zelenskyy added that if the West does not supply Kiev with F-16 fighter jets, the Ukrainian army will lose more manpower. This, according to the Ukrainian leader, can only “slow down the processes.”

During the counter-offensive, the Ukrainian army will try to seize Crimea. This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He made such a statement in an interview with the Finnish edition of Yle.
