Dear foreign policy makers, experts, media and academics.
I know some of you find it hard to imagine a Ukrainian victory, but we are on the way to one.
It is better to prepare now for a Russian defeat, instead of trying to explain why Ukraine cannot or must not win”
The words are signed Dmytro Kuleba.
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy tweeted this statement as Ukraine is again the victim of Russian strikes.
Since the start of the conflict, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, like its President Volodymyr Zelensky, has not hesitated to communicate regularly to remind his allies to maintain their strong support for Ukraine until the total victory of his people.

60. Like the number of combat aircraft shot down by Russia in Ukraine since the start of the conflict.
