Zelenskyy had called for Russian troops to leave.
Over the course of the war, realities have developed that need to be accepted by the Ukrainians.
He was referring to the fact that Russian forces don't fully control the territory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's call for Russian troops to be pulled from his country was rejected by the Kremlin.
The realities of this time need to be taken into account by the Ukrainian side.
New subjects have appeared in the Russian Federation, according to these realities. Referendums that took place in these territories caused them to appear. The votes that have been decried around the world as a sham are just one example of the new realities that need to be taken into account.
There were referendums in Ukrainian territories that were annexed by Russia. When Putin announced the illegal annexation of these regions, Russian forces lost ground to the Ukrainian military. The first major city that Russia's military seized after the invasion was Kherson.
Even though Moscow's rhetoric on the war is at odds with the situation on the ground, it is calling on Ukraine to accept realities.
Zelenskyy said in an address to the G7 that the occupier must leave. I don't see why Russia wouldn't do it now.
The answer from Moscow will show whether or not they want confrontation with the world or cessation of aggression. The leader argued that the war had to be taken away from them.
Russia has suffered tens of thousands of casualties in the war in Ukraine.
Russia has been hit with sanctions by the West after the invasion. The Kremlin said on Monday that Putin wouldn't hold his annual year-end press conference because the situation in Ukraine is getting worse.
