Ukraine: How far will Zelenskiy deploy his troops? – Politics

Volodymyr Zelensky has a problem. The President of Ukraine said in one Interview with the Financial Times, a “victory must be achieved on the battlefield”. He is still open to negotiations, but only directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin. A stalemate with Russia is also not an option for him, there are plans to reconquer all occupied territories, which probably also means the Crimean Peninsula, which has been occupied since 2014. However, the military means for this are currently lacking, and it also seems to be some time before arms deliveries from the West reach Ukraine in significant quantities. In any case, the Ukrainian counter-offensive announced a few weeks ago in June is nowhere to be seen.
