Zelensky:
The aggressor country does not need a strong Ukraine, because they flex their muscles at our borders. Russians do it all the time. for example, when NATO ships enter the Black Sea, or Ukraine is moving closer to the North Atlantic alliance.

They shoot and wait, what will we answer them. Russia expects us to attack in eastern Ukraine, but we will not give her such happiness.

The problem is, that Putin did not expect a president like me in Ukraine.
