Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has revealed that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in their most recent conversation that Ukraine is prepared to continue resisting the Russian invasion for several more years.

Details: According to Tusk, Ukraine is concerned about the long-term impact of the war on its population and economy if it lasts beyond a few years.

Quote: "I have no doubts Ukraine will survive as an independent state. Now the main question is how many victims we will see. President Zelenskyy told me [on Thursday] that he hopes that the war will not last ten years, but that Ukraine is ready to fight for another two, three years."

More details: Tusk added that the full-scale invasion launched by Russia is also damaging its own economy, but internal destabilisation would only make Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin more aggressive.

Quote from Tusk: "The Russians are in really deep trouble [economically]. Does it mean we can say we are winning? Not at all. They have one big advantage against the West, and Europe especially: they are ready to fight …"

Background:

• Earlier, Tusk stated that no one should pressure President Zelenskyy to make territorial concessions in the war with Russia.
• He has also repeatedly emphasised the importance of European solidarity with Ukraine.
