In an #interview with FRANCE 24, Mykhailo Podolyak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky, slammed Russian President Vladimir #Putin's May 9 Victory Day speech in Moscow. The Russian leader "celebrates the victory in 1945" while "attacking Kyiv, a peaceful city," he said, referring to the Ukrainian capital being hit by Russian cruise missiles overnight. Podolyak also said that "a long war only benefits Russia", and that only a Ukrainian counter-offensive will make the Russians leave the territories they occupy. He insisted that this counter-offensive will include Crimea and the occupied territories of the Donbas region.
