Today's counteroffensive doesn't decide Ukraine's fate

client/title.list_title

They lost all possible allies, created an anti-Russian coalition, unified and militarized Ukraine, failed to achieve any strategic goals, and even suffered geopolitical defeats.

Europe is being militarized, and Japan is being militarized.

“For some time to come, NATO will also need Ukraine as the most powerful army in Europe, which has and is able to work with all modern weapons, has modern warfare tactics, has horizontal ties on all continents and produces its own modern weapons. It is better to have such neighbors as partners or members of a collective security system than just neighbors.”

All of this was made possible by Russia's reckless actions and the Ukrainian people's fierce commitment to freedom and democracy, which is our historical trait.

Russia will continue to fight us and attack our cities, but it has already lost strategically. So right now, we have to pick ourselves up, put aside our doubts and fatigue, and continue the fight.

“Today's counteroffensive doesn't decide the fate of the country. I have written many times before that we must prepare for a marathon, not a sprint.”

The main thing is that the world has realized that even a nuclear strike will not stop us. Ukraine should no longer be and will not be under the yoke of the Russian Federation.

We will win this war, we have to for the sake of the future.
