Ukraine and Russia are fighting for different things. Therefore, its final will be different for each country: for Russians - failure, and for Ukrainians - victory.
"We are fighting for different things, so the end of this battle will be different for everyone. In meaning and even in sounding. In Russian it is the failure of the "special operation. In Ukrainian, it is victory in the war. That's why it will be, that's why there will be a Ukrainian state," Zelensky said.
