Ukraine Lacks Strength to Retake Territory

Ukraine does not have the military strength needed to retake all the territory it has lost to Russia since 2014, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday.

Zelenskyy is still unwilling to give up these territories, largely due to understanding that a permanent Russian presence would open the door to further invasions into Ukraine. But since Ukraine lacks the military power, it has to rely on allies to help it stand up to Russian aggression.

War update: In a conversation with Le Parisien, Zelenskyy said:

• Russia currently occupies about 18 percent of Ukraine;
• Ukraine’s recovery of territory has slowed since 2022, and its 2023 offensive saw limited success;
• Russia is currently on the offensive.

Prophesied power: The Bible reveals that Russia will soon advance to superpower status. For this, the Trumpet expects Moscow to retake more former Soviet states and assert power over several nations.

Zelenskyy’s admission shows how Russia is on the path to the dominance that Bible prophecy describes.
