The Ukrainian government “doesn’t care” how long the fight against Russia takes, and recommends that anyone complaining sign up for its foreign legion, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba told France’s AFP news agency this week.
In an interview published on Thursday, Kuleba said that Ukraine’s goal remains the capture of all of its former territories – Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye, as well as Crimea – from Russia.
“We don’t care how long it takes,” Kuleba said, claiming that Kiev has not been placed under any pressure by its Western backers to deliver results on the battlefield.
His statement stands in stark contrast to a glut of recent reports in the Western media, which suggest that American officials consider Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive a failure, and now see Kiev’s goals as unachievable. Earlier reports claimed that Washington’s continued military support for Ukraine hinges on a successful counteroffensive, while Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky admitted last month that the operation was “not going well,” and that Ukraine was facing “attempts to pressure us” into delivering battlefield victories.
