Ukraine's intelligence does not see a way to win only on the battlefield: the borders of the 91st will not finish the war-isw

Sibitsky emphasized that wars similar to the present ending only by treaties, and that both Russia and Ukraine are trying to improve their position in future negotiations, which can begin in the second half of 2025. In addition to attempts to take advantage of the current difficulties of Ukraine, the Kremlin also counts on information operations to prevent mobilization and make them doubt the legitimacy of President Vladimir Zelensky.

Another area in which the Russian Federation works is diplomatic isolation of Ukraine. Russia's efforts are aimed at limiting the most important conditions for consistent and timely security assistance of the Armed Forces and preventing the formation of a block of partners that can support Zelensky's peaceful formula.

In an interview with Foreign Policy on May 1, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba stated that representatives of the event should use such a strategy that the enemy has a crystal clear understanding that Ukraine is part of the event, and that the Allies support Ukraine. "Not so much as you will need it, but how much it will be needed for Ukraine to win," Kuleba said.

Kuleba noted that the Russian Federation is still convinced that they will be able to decide Ukraine's future on the battlefield. And the only way to force Russia to seriously consider the possibility of negotiations is military operations or the creation of a coalition of countries with the same approaches to the end of the war in Ukraine through negotiations. Recall that, according to DeepState, the Russian troops advanced near the reed and in Kotlyarivka.
