Putin “will sell the victory”: Zelensky explained what threatens Ukraine in the event of the loss of Bakhmut
If the leader of the Russians feels that the Ukrainians are weak, he will put pressure on him, the President of Ukraine warned.
If Ukraine loses the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, for which there are fierce battles with Russian invaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin will “sell this victory” to his compatriots, Iran and China.
If the leader of the Russians “feels some kind of blood smell” that the Ukrainians are weak, he will “press, press, press,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“If Bakhmut surrenders to Russian troops, their president Vladimir Putin will sell this victory to the West, to his society, to China, to Iran,” the Ukrainian leader warned.
The head of state stressed that in the event of a defeat in Bakhmut, our government would face internal and external pressure.
