The initiative in Russia's war against Ukraine is now on Ukraine's side rather than in the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this during an interview with the U.S. television network Fox News while visiting the United States, according to Ukrinform.
Zelensky said that Russia is suffering heavy battlefield losses but continues to pursue the war.
"Putin is losing 30,000 soldiers per month. There're many losses, but he doesn't want to stop this war. So now initiative is not in the hands of Putin," Zelensky said.
He added that Kyiv continues to push for a ceasefire that could pave the way for a final settlement, but Putin remains unwilling to engage in any form of dialogue.
