Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday his country is preparing a counteroffensive designed to liberate areas occupied by Russia, not to attack Russian territory.
Speaking during a news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Zelensky said Ukraine’s goal is to free the territories within its internationally recognised borders. Scholz told Zelensky that Germany will support Ukraine “for as long as necessary.”
