Zelenskyy: Ukraine's victory is achieved as long as Russia does not "completely occupy" Ukraine.

Reference News Network, September 8 report. According to RIA Novosti, on September 8, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said in an interview with ABC that he considers it a victory for Ukraine as long as Ukraine's territory is not completely under Russian control.

In recent days, Zelenskyy's rhetoric on the territorial issue has shown subtle changes. He began to state that Ukraine "does not legally recognize" territories that are incorporated into Russia without being controlled by the Ukrainian army. Before this, he emphasized absolute rejection of any de facto recognition. Now, Zelenskyy's statements have led to a broader interpretation of how Kyiv might acknowledge territorial losses.

Zelenskyy said in an interview that Russia seems to want to "completely occupy" Ukraine and asserted that this would be Putin's victory. Zelenskyy said: "That is his victory. As long as he doesn't achieve it, the victory belongs to us." (Translated by Li Ran)
