This is the best summary I could come up with:
When asked by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria how the long-awaited counteroffensive was going, Zelensky said the country remains focused on the end result, which is regaining their territory from Russia.
He said that Russia had time to plant mines and dig in its defenses as Kyiv waited for Western weapons.
“I’m thankful very much to President Biden and to Congress, but we have to understand: We waited too long, they put mines.
He then reiterated that winning the war is the only way Ukraine can recover its land, saying that a failure would allow Russia to attack other countries.
“We pay the highest price, it’s true, and I don’t want to repeat this for everybody — to know this war, but they can not only know people in the West have to feel it and you can choose.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Ukraine last week, and he said the nation was making “real progress” in its pushback against Russia.
