Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski stated on Tuesday, March 3, that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to mobilize an additional 400,000 soldiers, despite the massive losses suffered by the Russian army.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera<\/a>, Zelenski specified that Russia loses up to 35,000 soldiers per month.<\/p>\n

“It’s a gigantic number<\/i>,” he said, emphasizing that “now Putin is about to mobilize 400,000 new soldiers<\/i>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Ukrainian president added that, although Russia is trying to supplement its forces, its army “has stopped growing,”<\/i> because the losses are roughly equal to the number of new recruits. “They are immobilized, close to crisis”<\/i>, Zelenski stated. He further said that “serious negotiations will begin when his army starts to shrink.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Ukraine seeks balance between dialogue and defense<\/h2>\n

Referring to the numerical advantage of the Russian population and the continuous attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, Zelenski explained that Ukraine is seeking both diplomatic solutions and military strategies.<\/p>\n

“We seek dialogue, we want peace. However, in parallel, we try to be strong. We produce technical resources and more drones to compensate for the lack of soldiers<\/i>,” he declared.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zelenski emphasized that Ukraine is adapting its methods of warfare to face demographic challenges and labor force constraints. “We are not losing, and Russia is not satisfied<\/i>,” concluded the Ukrainian president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
