Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that for him victory in the Donbass would be to return the temporarily occupied territories under the control of Ukraine.
He announced this on the air of one of the Ukrainian television channels.
When asked what he sees as victory in Donbas, Zelensky said: “Honestly and without pathos: for us, each of these steps (to resolve the situation in Donbass – UNIAN) is a small victory. But we want to see a great result. The great result: we will return our territories, there will be a withdrawal of troops from illegal armed groups. We will surely control our border with the Russian Federation and there will be elections there, ”he said.

“Although everyone is talking about local elections, I understand, but it is very important to obtain their territory in the first place,” emphasized the president.
“And when all of us who have been tortured there for many years, when will we see them? If they are dead, we will return them to their parents and honor their memory. Are they, God forbid, alive? How can this be done? You need to have access there. So for me the most important thing is the withdrawal of the troops and we will arrive. If we enter, we will immediately give life to our people. Then the border. Then the elections, “said the president.
According to UNIAN, Zelensky also declared the continuation of the negotiations on the release of the captive Ukrainians who are detained in Donbass, Crimea and Russia.
