No, Ukraine Is Not Starting To Lose The War, Says An Agitated Zelensky

"Zelensky was generally described as agitated at various points in an end-of-year Q&A

session he gave Tuesday before an international press pool in Kyiv. At one point he responded flatly to a BBC reporter's question about whether he thinks Ukraine is beginning to lose the war with a curt "no". Here's how things went from near the start of the presser:
Next Zelensky is asked a series of seemingly complex questions on domestic politics, one of which is about the possible creation of a government of national unity which would include technocrats - unelected leaders who are picked for their expertise.
The president seems visibly irritated by the questions and keeps shaking his head and frowning, saying they are too long and confusing.
"You’re talking too much," he says, "I want you to ask a specific question."
And yet despite everyone knowing the proverbial writing is on the wall, and that Ukraine has made no gains and his already running out of ammo, with US funding set to dry up by December 30, Zelensky reiterated his refusal to negotiate, and to press on with his aim of seeing Ukraine return to its pre-2014 borders."
