Ukraine will move backward without support of West, says Zelenskyy 

“Now I am focused on getting aid from the West. Their “focus is shifting because of the Middle East – and other reasons. Without the support, we will move backward,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told a group of journalists, Report informs, citing AFR.

The Ukrainian leader said Moscow is also seeking to sow division in Ukrainian society by creating “chaos” domestically and ultimately to remove the president.

“Our intelligence has information, which also came from our partners,” Zelenskyy said, describing a disinformation plan known internally as “Maidan 3,” a reference to the central square in Kyiv that was the focal point of uprisings in 2004 and 2014. The latter played a role in toppling Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovych.
