AFP reported today: "Ukrainian President Zelenskyy told AFP that his country has not lost the war against Russia, and has seized hundreds of square kilometers of land in the new counteroffensive, and the European army should be deployed to the front lines after any ceasefire."
Comment: Essentially, Zelenskyy's statement is, against the backdrop of insufficient Western aid and significant battlefield pressure, both claiming to still have counteroffensive achievements to stabilize morale and expectations for external support, while also trying to tie Europe deeply into Ukraine's security framework by demanding that European forces be deployed to the front lines after a ceasefire, using external forces as long-term security guarantees.
