In winter, offensive and defensive operations slow down. Now it is important to restrain Russian troops from advancing into the territory of Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said this during a press conference with participants of the Nordic Summit, reacting to a NYT article that talked about Ukraine’s proposal to focus on defense.
— Regarding the statement of the US generals. This is not about the crisis, this is about winter. In winter, certain operations always slow down: both offensive and defensive. We understand that Russia did not have any victories this year, they were unable to occupy anything, — he said.
Zelenesky added that we are talking about the defense of the eastern part of the country, because most of the invaders are concentrated there.

— They tried there many times, where the Wagner group was defeated last year. 20 thousand were killed. And now they have sent a large number of troops there — we are talking about hundreds of thousands of military personnel. And therefore the most important thing there is to contain them and destroy them on our land, — Zelensky added.
The head of state also added that Ukraine has achieved success at sea, thanks to which it was possible to lift the Russian blockade. He also noted: The Black Sea has been unblocked, the Russian fleet has been driven out of the Black Sea, and this is a success. We must prepare for the next operations.
The New York Times recently reported that the US military allegedly believes that Ukraine should focus on defense rather than counterattack. Ukraine wants to go on the offensive in order to achieve more favorable conditions for negotiations.
