Russia may prolong the war against Ukraine at least until the end of this year. The enemy is pinning its hopes on a serious energy crisis, which will arise closer to winter and force the West to "negotiate" with Russia.
This was stated by Viktor Andrusiv, advisor to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the air of the telethon.
"The Russians plan to minimally stall until the end of the year. I explain why - according to their calculations, a serious energy crisis will begin closer to winter, and problems with heating will begin, and in Ukraine these problems will begin too, and serious problems with the economy. Because the prices for energy carriers rise very strongly, and now the Kremlin will bet on that towards the end of the year the West will understand that, let's say, it is necessary to come to terms with Russia. And if they (the occupants - ed.) hold out until the end of the year, then they expect that they will be negotiated with them on what they demand," Andrusiv said.
