He highlighted Ukraine's recent battlefield gains and Russia's intensified aerial attacks. Zelenskyy accused Moscow of trying to prolong the war and destabilize regions like Transnistria. He claimed significant Russian casualties and proposed a ceasefire and prisoner exchange. Zelenskyy emphasized that global fatigue is growing with Russia, not Ukraine.
