Oleksiy Arestovych: Winning the war depends on Western supplies

"Ukraine will not lose the war. But winning it is becoming increasingly difficult because Putin is making extra efforts not to lose it. About a month ago, there were about 210,000 Russian soldiers on the territory of Ukraine and today there are 320,000". This is what Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukraine's presidential office, who filed his resignation a few days ago after a Russian rocket hit a residential building in Dnipro, told "Feygin Live" on YouTube. "Winning the war depends on several factors: Western supplies, their quantity, quality, our organizational abilities and long-lasting will despite the fatigue," he said.

Germany's new defense minister, Boris Pistorius, told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper that he plans to visit Ukraine next month. On Friday, Germany and Western allies did not reach a decision on whether Germany should send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, despite Ukraine’s calls. "We are conducting a close dialogue on this matter with our international partners and especially with the United States," Pistorius pointed out.

"Arms supplies to Ukraine provided by the USA and NATO and threatening the Russian Federation will result in a response with the use of more powerful weapons," the chairman of the Russian State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said, quoted by Tass.

In an interview with BNR, when asked about possible negotiations between the West and the Russian president, security and crisis management expert Iskren Ivanov said that Putin would only accept dialogue with Biden. "The only person who can speak with Putin as an equal is the American president. Russia does not perceive the EU as an equal side in negotiations and all Russian comments claim that Europe was a colony of America," Ivanov said.
