Zelensky indirectly blames allies for withdrawal from the city of Avdiivka. "The actions of our troops on the front are only limited by the West's lack of ammunition and long-range missiles," he said.
Zelensky stressed that the longer the war in Ukraine lasts, the more changes Russia will cause in the world. "Perhaps people will have to live in a world where local wars will not be local. Whatever happens, the start of war risks becoming a global catastrophe," he warned.
