Ukraine is not under pressure from its Western allies due to the ongoing counter-offensive, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Aug. 16.
“We’re not feeling this,” he told French news agency AFP when asked about pressure from Western governments, while acknowledging “an increase in the voices of commentators and experts in the public space” discussing the slow pace of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
Kuleba noted that “it’s easy to say that you want everything to be faster when you are not there.”

“Our goal is victory, victory in the form of the liberation of our territories within (Ukraine’s) borders of 1991.”
“And we don’t care how long it takes.”

As long as the Ukrainian people share this goal, the Ukrainian government will move “hand in hand with its own people,” Kuleba said.
“The truth is that until we have won, we need more, we need to move forward, because war is a reality, and in this reality, we need to win,” the diplomat said.
“There is no other way.”
