Zelensky: We Are Not Losing the War, But We Are Losing People and Time

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine is not losing the war, although it is losing people and time due to Russian attacks. According to him, the exchange of intelligence information with the United States has been restored. Zelensky made the statement at a press conference in Norway held after a meeting with US President's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb took part in the press conference.

Zelensky said: "Of course, we are not losing this war. But we are losing people due to Russian attacks, and time. And this is regrettable, because our children do not have a real life, a real childhood. Not everyone has that. That is exactly why we want this war to end as quickly as possible..."

He also said: "God bless our strong soldiers, they are strong on the battlefield. This allows me to be strong in any kind of negotiations".

Zelensky expressed hope that European and American partners will help Ukraine achieve peace.

Regarding the restoration of intelligence exchange, he said: "We are grateful that intelligence is working now. I am talking about an early warning system for our people, for our children, for the civilian population, because we can understand when ballistic missiles are flying. So, we are grateful to the American side. It is working now, and that is excellent".

According to Zelensky, during talks with the Secretary of State [Rubio], they discussed not only intelligence but also Starlink and Patriot systems: "He will get back to us on this issue and, I think, we will have a good result".
