"Everything will end quickly and in one moment" and there will be no need to defend every kilometer of the territory with blood, as "events will take on a different form" under certain conditions. This opinion was shared on Twitter by Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the President of Ukraine.

"It won't be easy, but it's a great naivety to think that Ukraine will have to return the territory, winning every kilometer with blood. As we advance in the south and Ukrainian forces reach the administrative border with Crimea, events will take on a different shape. In the end, everything will end quickly and in one moment - just as it started," the advisor said.

Podolyak also emphasized that the main internal legitimacy of the Putin regime rests on the belief of Russian elites that it has not lost the war.

"The Kremlin understands the inevitable: the more Russia loses the occupied territories, the faster the regime's support will decline," he said.

Regarding the murder of the founder of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin and the preparation of a new mobilization in Russia, Podolyak believes that these steps are just an attempt to "buy time."
