Ukraine says 'ready to fight for another 2 to 3 years'

According to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, leader Zelensky said that Ukraine could fight another 2 or 3 years in the conflict with Russia.

RT reported on October 26 that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine could fight for another two or three years in the conflict with Russia.

In an interview with the Sunday Times on October 25, Prime Minister Tusk said that leader Zelensky had said that he hoped the war would not last 10 years, and that Ukraine was ready to fight for another 2 or 3 years.

"If the conflict with Russia lasts longer, Mr. Zelensky is worried about the damage the war will cause to the people and the economy of this country," the Polish Prime Minister added.

On October 21, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that "Ukraine is facing serious financial problems." The newspaper cited an unnamed source from the European Union (EU) as saying that Kiev only has enough money left to maintain operations "until the end of the first quarter of 2026."

On October 22, Ukraine's draft 2026 budget approved by the Parliament has a deficit of more than 58%.

In recent weeks, EU leaders have intensified discussions about a “compensation loan” of up to 140 billion euros ($163 billion) for Ukraine, using frozen Russian assets as collateral. Kiev would only have to pay back the money if Moscow compensates for damage caused by the conflict.

The bloc has been tapping into revenues from frozen Russian assets.

Moscow described the move as "theft" and vowed to retaliate.

After the Ukraine conflict escalated in February 2022, the US and EU froze about $300 billion in Russian assets - about $213 billion of which is held by the Brussels-based payment center Euroclear.
