Where is the Russia-Ukraine war heading? Here's what Volodymyr Zelenskyy thinks

Firstpost  

Ukraine: A team of journalists from The Associated Press spent two days travelling by train with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as he visited the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, which still faces regular shelling from Russian forces, and northern towns in the Sumy region that were liberated shortly after the war began a year ago. AP Zelenskyy added that a European nation sent another air defence system to Ukraine, but it didn’t work and they “had to change it again and again.” He did not name the country. Putin’s isolation Zelenskyy was unsparing in his assessment of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, calling him an “informationally isolated person” who had “lost everything” over the last year of war. “He doesn’t have allies,” Zelenskyy said, adding that it was clear that even China — an economic powerhouse long favourable toward Moscow — was no longer willing to back Russia. Grossi told the AP on Tuesday he believed a deal was “close.” However, Zelenskyy, who opposes any plan that would legitimise Russia’s control over the facility, said he was less optimistic a deal was near.
