Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in an interview on Friday that Russia could intensify its offensive, saying Kiev would only accept a “fair peace” despite the West’s calls for a quick solution.
Zelensky also reiterated pleas for allies to send more air defenses and fighter jets, saying the โbiggest benefitโ for Russia was a ban on Ukraine using Western-donated weapons to attack Russian territory.
With a mobilization law coming into force on Saturday, he admitted there were problems with staffing and “morale” in the Ukrainian ranks, which are often outgunned as the third year of the war drags on.
