Zelensky: Withdrawal of Russian troops to Feb. 23 positions would be victory, for now.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a group interview with several Ukrainian journalists on April 5 that fighting for the territories of the Donbas occupied since 2014 would be too costly. "It would cost 50,000 or 60,000 of our best trained people, and the enemy would return next month," Zelensky said.
