"I don't believe that Putin's objective is the conquest of territories: what we are seeing are attacks against civilians and terror against the Ukrainian population. Their messages tell us that their objective is not some territories but is to annex all of Ukraine" .
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said this, responding to Bruno Vespa on 'Five Minutes'.
"Putin is trying to get supplies in Iran and North Korea, he has a shortage of ammunition. The Russians need a break: many of their soldiers have been killed, we see it from the prisoners that the contingent that comes to us to fight does not have superior preparation to a month. They need to prepare private soldiers and officers."
"Already in 2014 - adds Zelensky - the frozen conflict allowed him to strengthen himself and then start a large-scale war".
