image for Zelenskyy: Russia expects to prolong war, we have to speed things up

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Russia is trying to drag the war, and Ukraine should speed up the events and supply of weapons.

Quote: "We are doing everything to ensure that our pressure outweighs the occupiers' assault capabilities.

And it is very important to maintain the dynamics of defence support from our partners.

The speed of supply has been and will be one of the key factors in this war.

Russia hopes to drag out the war, to exhaust our forces.

We must speed up the events, speed up the supply and opening of new necessary weaponry options for Ukraine.".

In some of its wars, Russia has lost in total less people than it loses there, in particular near Bakhmut," said Zelenskyy. »

Authored by videogameschronicle.com

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning developer Kaiko is working on a “high profile THQ Nordic IP in the Action-Adventure genre,” according to a job listing.
