Another 390, 000 soldiers have been injured, he said.
What more did Zelenskyy add?
Zelenskyy has stated that he would be willing to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin in advance of the third anniversary of the start of the full-fledged war, which is generally at a stalemate.
In an interview that was broadcast on YouTube on Tuesday, he said,” If that is the only set-up in which we can send peace to the people of Ukraine and not lose people, we will definitely go for this set-up.”
He added that such deals would have to include “four individuals”.
” If citizens believe we must proceed to the political trail, and I believe we are ready to proceed to the political monitor, there must be the United States, Europe, Ukraine and Russia”, he said.
Zelenskyy acknowledged that American support had been “regrettably… inadequate to drive Putin completely out of our territories,” despite the fact that Kyiv would never recognize Russia’s occupation of Russian territory.
The Ukrainian president responded,” I would not be type to him, I consider him an enemy,” when asked how he would feel if he were to sit next to Putin at a table for negotiations. To be honest, I think he considers me an army, to”. Putin has ruled out speaking with Zelenskyy immediately.

Donald Trump, the US leader, what role does he sing?
Preliminary talks of negotiations come at a time when US President Donald Trump has returned to the White House after promising to put an end to the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible. Fatalities and battle fatigue are also at play.
His statements so much range from threats to pull US military aid for Ukraine to risks of additional economic sanctions against Russia, and how specifically he intends to do that remain ambiguous.
In the Tuesday meeting, Zelenskyy stressed he did not want to see Russian restrictions lifted, saying he believed this would only “increase the risk of a second war” in coming.
Zelenskyy earlier on Tuesday informed reporters in Kyiv that his group was already in contact with National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Washington’s best Ukrainian standard Keith Kellogg, and that there were “working times” for an American delegation to attend.
He said,” We are waiting for the team while the times and group members are being set.” ” We did work up”.
Had Ukraine give US entry to ‘ unique earths’?
Trump demanded on Monday that Kyiv maintain US defense protection by obtaining access to important strategic minerals in Ukraine. Zelenskyy first suggested the idea last year, when he claimed it would only be “fair” to grant US companies access to unique metals, which are necessary for a range of technologies.
Despite almost 20 % of Ukrainian territory currently being under Russian occupation, Zelenskyy said Kyiv still had access to” sufficient” amounts of rare resources.
” I would like US company… to create this field around”, he said, according to feedback published by his company.
We are aware that all of this can be improved with our partners, who are both assisting us in defending our land with their arms and punishment. This is completely good”.
Eastern Donbass, where Moscow has made incremental increases over the past year, contains a large percentage of Ukraine’s material resources. The place is largely under Russian control.
