The Ukrainian military is preparing to drive Russian forces out of occupied areas of Ukraine but is not planning attacks against territory inside Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says.
Mr. Zelenskyy made the comment while visiting Germany on Sunday, a day after holding private talks with Pope Francis at the Vatican, where he told reporters that he was seeking the pontiff’s support for a peace plan in the face of Russia’s nearly 15-month-old invasion of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president’s remarks appeared to be aimed at quelling speculation among regional security analysts and media outlets that Ukraine’s military may attempt to capture areas inside Russia with the goal of using them as bargaining chips in peace negotiations with Moscow. Mr. Zelenskyy’s comments Sunday came amid reports of high-profile Russian battlefield losses in eastern Ukraine.
