Andriy Yermak gave his forecast on the course of the war
The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, said that prolonging the war benefits the Kremlin. The war must be ended before winter.
Yermak stated this to the Japanese television company NHK.
If the fighting in this war continues into the winter, it will become more and more difficult to retake the territory. We will focus our discussions on taking all possible measures to break the deadlock before that time comes,” Yermak explained, noting that the next few months will be decisive.
He also confirmed that the Ukrainian army is increasingly stepping up its counteroffensive in the country's south and Ukraine will never make territorial concessions.
In this war, we will never make concessions to our independence, territorial integrity, and sovereignty, the head of the OPU added.
