“Not a Step Back,” called the Ukrainian President.

Russia insolently attacked on February 24 and now Ukraine is at a new stage of the war.

It is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the statement of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

“We now see that we are not retreating. Today this is already a new stage. Somewhere we are standing, some territories are blocked, there we are waiting for the appropriate equipment from our side so that we can press and advance, and in some territories we are advancing. Therefore, not a step back," he called.

According to Zelensky, it is impossible to do everything at once. We must first take the appropriate steps to stop the war, and then diplomacy will take over.

"As for today, it was desirable to execute the first stage, it was, and we did it, we stopped Russia, its advance. We did it. The second stage is to make the maximum and to withdraw Russia from our territory. Now we are at the second stage," he noted.

The third stage, according to Zelensky, will be the maximum restoration of territorial integrity.

"Where it is possible to find any compromises, in the frame of human attitude, thanks to dialogue and talks, instead of the weapon. There Ukraine will do it, but showing the position as the equal partner in any dialogue," Zelensky summarized.
