Is this a fiction too La La?Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has admitted that the situation on the front line in the conflict with Russia is deteriorating, blaming the West for its “limited” military assistance.
He echoed an earlier statement by the army’s commander-in-chief, Aleksandr Syrsky, who warned of a significant escalation in recent days, with Russian forces attacking Ukrainian positions near the cities of Lyman and Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut by Ukraine) and advancing towards Chasov Yar.
“The situation on the front during a hot war is always difficult. But these days – and especially in the Donetsk areas – it’s getting harder,” Zelensky said in an address to the nation on Sunday.
He drew a comparison with Iran’s missile and drone attack on Israel on Saturday, which was repelled with the help of the US and allied forces.
“Modern air power proves its effectiveness, modern air defense systems are capable of protecting lives – this was demonstrated in the Middle East,” Zelensky said, adding that the West is turning a deaf ear to Ukraine’s pleas for more funding.
