Political analyst names the only way to end the war in Ukraine in the next 10 years

The only way to end the war in the next 10 years is to move it to Russian territory. To do this, Ukraine at least needs permission to strike at Russian targets deep in the country.

This opinion was expressed by political analyst and publicist Vitaliy Portnikov in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA. He explained that this would reduce Russian arsenals and, consequently, the number of strikes on our country.

"We will be able to negotiate with Russia that it stops its shelling of Ukrainian infrastructure in exchange for not destroying Russian energy infrastructure or oil depots. We will already have the opportunity to talk about this because we have the weapons to do so," Portnikov said.

He noted that drones are one thing, but Western missiles are quite another.

"I keep saying this all the time. The only way to talk about ending the war in the next 10 years is to move it to Russia. So that Russia understands that yes, it can exhaust Ukraine and turn it into a wilderness, but the European part of Russia, where the majority of the Russian population lives, may become such a wilderness too, and it may not be ready for this," the analyst said.

Earlier, Portnikov called on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to wait until after the US elections and show the victory plan to the next president of the country. According to his impressions, in Ukraine, "high officials worry too much" about the US elections.

As reported, President Zelenskyy said that the strategic plan for Ukraine's victory in the war, which he is going to present to US President Joe Biden, will be "frank" and "clear." In addition, it will not contain many points.
