Alexei Danilov gave his predictions for the end of the war by next summer

The secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said this in an interview with the Ukrayinska Pravda news and analysis website

He assessed the forecast made by the head of the Defence Ministry's Main Directorate of Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, that the war could end by the beginning of summer 2023. He called it realistic

I want Kirill not to be mistaken, I have a positive attitude towards this forecast.

However, Alexei Danilov also noted that an early victory is unlikely, however much we would like it. He also assured that Luhansk, Donetsk and Simferopol must definitely be returned, as it is our territory
