Ukrainian President Warns Against Crossing Into Russian Territory

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has cautioned that the coalition supporting Ukraine’s fight against Russia would not provide assistance if hostilities were extended into Russian territory. Zelensky expressed this view during an interview, emphasizing the critical role played by allies in aiding Ukraine’s efforts to reclaim its own territory.

He stated that international partners were integral to the progress and outcomes on the battlefield, and he believed in the possibility of achieving demilitarization in the occupied Crimea through political means. Recent months have seen increased strikes on Russian territory, with both sides attributing attacks to each other. Ukraine has claimed responsibility for attacks on Russian-held Crimea and Black Sea targets.
