The Ukrainian president has named an approximate date for the start of hostilities.

The Russian Federation is preparing for a major war on the European continent to be able to start fighting in 2029 or 2030.

The Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky declared.

"We need more pressure on Russia. Given the situation on the battlefield, we don't see Russia wanting to stop. When we look at the Russian military industry, we see that they are increasing their production. And according to our estimates, they want to continue this war," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian president said it is worth recognizing that the Russian Federation wants a big war in order to be able to start fighting on the European continent in 2029, or 2030.

"We see this as a really big challenge. I think we have to think about how to stop them now in Ukraine. But also to do everything we can to reduce their ability. Not to give them money that they can still get from energy. And not to give them weapons," the head of state added.
