We have all chances to win this year – Right Sector founder Yarosh

Dmytro Yarosh, military officer, former leader and founder of the Right Sector organization, and commander of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, shared his insights in the first interview on the 1+1 TV channel since the beginning of the full-scale war.

"We have a chance to end the war before the end of the year. Of course, it is not a fact that it will be 100%, but there is a chance, and we can do it. If it does not happen by the end of the year, then there are various options. A protracted low-intensity conflict is possible, just like it has been in Donbas," Yarosh believes.

The serviceman admitted that Ukraine was unprepared for a full-scale war against Russia. 

"I would urge our allies to give more arms and more modern equipment. And we will defeat all enemy mechanized and motorized rifle divisions and brigades. Unfortunately, we were not ready for such a full-scale conflict with Russia. For now, everyone needs to concentrate on celebrating the New Year with our victory," Yarosh emphasized.

• Ukraine's Ambassador to Germany, Oleksiy Makeev, announced that Kyiv would soon receive a significant shipment of Leopard 1A5 heavy battle tanks.
