ISTANBUL (AA) –Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that he is certain that the US will not betray Kyiv and implement the agreements reached between the two countries on financial aid.
“As for financial assistance, we are working very hard on this. I am sure that the US will not betray us and that what we agreed on in the US will be fully implemented,” Zelenskyy said during an end-of-year news conference in the capital Kyiv.
He said developments regarding the strengthening of Ukraine’s air defense capabilities is important, and this winter will be different due to its various challenges.
“But we are becoming stronger and more powerful. I had a serious business trip. Several new Patriot systems will be in Ukraine to protect our country in winter. This is a very important result,” Zelenskyy further said.
Russia “failed” to achieve any results on the front line during this year, the Ukrainian leader said, as he asserted that it is proven through the Kremlin’s unchanged rhetoric regarding the goals of its “special military operation.”
“There is nothing to talk about defeats. Russia did not achieve any victory. What three days ... Two years. Our fighters are great, our people are great. I am once again grateful to them for this,” he added.
Zelenskyy also said that the Ukrainian military proposed to mobilize an additional 450,000 to 500,000 people for the army.
“This is a very serious figure. I said that I need more arguments to support this direction, because it is a matter of people first and foremost,” he said.
