“The most likely outcome of the war,” he said, “will be that part of the Ukrainian territory will temporarily be under Russian occupation.” But, according to him, this “temporary thing” can last for years.
According to the president of the Czech Republic, neither Ukraine nor Russia can count on securing their maximalist goals. He added that Ukraine “will need to be realistic” about its prospects of returning territories occupied by Russia.
Previously, the German publication Bild recently wrote, citing its own sources, that President Volodymyr Zelensky, who plans to present his victory strategy during his visit to the United States, may declare his readiness to agree to a local ceasefire in certain areas of the front and thus temporarily freeze the situation. The Office of the President of Ukraine called the article a fake.
A recent survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) showed that 55% of Ukrainians believe that Ukraine “under no circumstances should give up its territories, even if this means the war will last longer and there will be threats to the preservation of independence.”
According to the survey, almost a third (32%) of Ukrainians surveyed in May 2024 expressed readiness for territorial concessions in order to achieve peace and preserve independence as soon as possible.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine will not agree to territorial concessions to end the war.
