Ukraine claims to have successfully weathered 'Putin's winter of terror'

MADRID, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Volodimir Zelensky, stated on Wednesday that Kiev has managed to successfully overcome the "winter of terror of (Vladimir) Putin" and has stressed that it is the fifth defeat for the Russian president.

"We have overcome the harshest winter in our history. We were dark and cold, but we were indomitable," he asserted in a message through his Facebook account. "Together with us, our partners have offered help. The European Union has also won despite Moscow's actions, and they have not frozen without Russian gas," she said.

Thus, he has given advice to the Russian authorities: "suffocate with your own gas and drown with your missiles." "This is the fifth defeat. The first took place when we prevented him from paralyzing us with fear during the first minutes of the invasion. The second took place when we put down his blitzkrieg," he recounted.

In this sense, he pointed out that the fourth defeat was built on "the basis of a world coalition in support of Ukraine that allowed sanctions to be imposed, arms delivered and humanitarian aid". "The fourth is the loss of a large part of the occupied territories as a result of the counterattack efforts of the Ukrainian Army," he said.

However, he has recognized that "there is still a long way to victory", although "we know we will win." "We have to work every day and believe in Ukraine," she stressed.
