In an interview with a leading French newspaper, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that the reason he was not optimistic about the war situation was because the Russian military might soon be able to procure large amounts of ammunition, and he blamed the Ukrainian military's lack of ammunition. He expressed a sense of crisis and appealed for continued military support.
Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Russian media reported on the 12th that a fire was caused by a drone attack on a fuel storage facility in Oryol Oblast in western Russia, and nearby residents were evacuated.
Meanwhile, on the front lines in eastern Ukraine, there is a stalemate due to fierce attacks by the Russian military.
Against this backdrop, France's leading newspaper Le Monde published an interview with Ukrainian President Zelenskiy on the 11th.
In this, President Zelenskiy said, ``The reason why I am not optimistic is that the Russian military may be able to procure a million rounds of ammunition tomorrow, a week, a month from now,'' He expressed a sense of crisis over the military's shortage of ammunition.
Last month, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the possibility of Western ground troops being dispatched to Ukraine "should not be ruled out," and President Zelenskiy said, "As long as we hold out, French troops will not enter the country. "We can stay here," he said, appealing for continued military support to move on the offensive.
