BBC World Service - Newshour, Zelensky says Ukraine not yet ready for counter offensive

Ukraine’s president says his country needs more time for counter-offensive

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, says his country needs more time to prepare for counter-offensive.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tells the BBC’s Hugo Bachega his country needs more time before it launches a much-anticipated counter-offensive against occupying Russian forces, but that Ukrainian combat brigades are otherwise “ready”. 

Also in the programme: the Pakistani Supreme Court has ruled that the arrest of the former prime minister, Imran Khan, is illegal; and the dystopian drama imagining state-run euthanasia in Japan.
