Kyiv is preparing for two possible scenarios, wrote Vladimir Zelensky in his Telegram channel.
"Ukraine will be ready for two possible ways: either diplomacy adopted by us, or the continuation of active defense, if the pressure of our partners on Russia is insufficient," the publication states.
He added that he is preparing for next week's matches in Europe.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the failures on the front should prompt Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table now.
Moreover, the permanent representative of Russia at the UN, Vassily Nebenzya, noted that the Ukrainian units are suffering losses and are rapidly losing their combat capability.
