Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is not losing the war against Russia and has regained significant territory in the South, liberating 300 square kilometers as part of an ongoing counter-offensive. Speaking to AFP on Friday, Zelensky emphasized that while victory is uncertain and comes at a high cost, the nation is not in a losing position. He also revealed that the United States continues to provide intelligence at the same level as before, alongside information from France and other European countries. Zelensky further alleged that both the US and Russia are pressuring Ukraine to cede the Donbass region to end the conflict and that Russia is pushing for elections during wartime to remove him from power.
