Zelenskyy says Ukraine needs time before counter-offensive

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said his military needs more time to prepare for a highly anticipated counter-offensive against Russian forces, according to an interview published by the BBC on Thursday. "With (what we have) we can go forward and be successful. But we'd lose a lot of people. I think that's unacceptable. So we need to wait. We still need a bit more time," he was quoted as saying.
