"The counterattack will come, and I believe it will be successful. I cannot reveal when the operation will begin... There are many details to be worked out, especially the distribution of weapons. There have been times when our Western allies have disappointed us in terms of the delivery of weapons," Zelensky said.

On the same day, Mr. Zelensky also called on Western countries to quickly transfer modern fighter jets and air defense weapons to Kiev. The Ukrainian President emphasized that these types of weapons are the most important factor in protecting people.

"Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 21 out of 23 missiles targeting the city of Uman on Friday. Without this effort, the number of casualties would have been much higher. We need more air defense weapons and fighter jets to counter the threat of air strikes," Zelensky said.
