In a recent interview, the Ukrainian Minister discussed the current state of the conflict with Russia. Despite challenges in 2023, including an incomplete counteroffensive and waning Western support, Ukraine has made significant strides. The Minister highlighted that Ukraine regained 50% of its territory, though not within this year, and successfully opened an alternative corridor in the Baltic Sea region.
Addressing criticisms about unmet objectives, such as reclaiming land during the summer counteroffensive and ambitions to retake Crimea, the Minister emphasized Ukraine’s long-term strategic goal of restoring its 1991 borders. He noted that military objectives are complex and should be managed by experts.
Looking ahead to 2024, the Minister, a Crimean Tatar, expressed unwavering confidence in Ukraine’s ability to reclaim Crimea with international support. Despite current shortages in artillery, ammunition, and drones, and diminishing support from the West, he affirmed Ukraine’s determination to continue the fight for its land.
The Minister stressed the importance of sticking to their plan and expressed gratitude for the support from allies, emphasizing its significance for global security. He condemned any nation that violates international laws through invasion and occupation, insisting on accountability and justice.
Regarding peace negotiations, the Minister referred to President Zelensky’s ten-step peace plan, suggesting that its full implementation could lead to a resolution. He concluded the interview by thanking the host and reaffirming his commitment to Ukraine’s cause.
