(MENAFN) According to Alexey Arestovich, a top advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Western countries are not equipping Ukraine with tanks and planes because they are now seeking a peaceful resolution to the dispute between Kiev and Moscow.
“It’s clear what we’re talking about. They don’t want a complete defeat of Russia. They want to force Russia to negotiate in order to achieve peace,” Arestovich stated in an interview with activist Mark Feygin on the latter's YouTube show on Friday.
Nevertheless, the adviser cautioned that the schemes of the EU leaders to halt the war through discussions are bound to fail.
“It’s going to be about Ukraine liberating all its territories by military means, or at least, bringing things to as they were before February 24” when Moscow established its military operation, he highlighted.
So far, Russian forces have slowly gained territory in Donbass despite having an overwhelming superiority in artillery and other weapons.
