OP answered under what conditions he is ready to sign a peace treaty.
The war in Ukraine will end with the victory of Ukraine under the management of President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, adviser to the head of the president's office, Mykhailo Podolyak, said in an interview with VVS Ukraine.
He noted that elections cannot be held in Ukraine during martial law, so technically it turns out that the war will end during the presidency of Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
At the same time, he added that the office of the head of state does not even consider the possibility of taking over Zelensky is responsible for signing a peace treaty not on Ukraine's terms.
“I think we will fight to the last Russian on the territory of Ukraine – that's the first thing. The second – there will definitely not be such a choice, believe me. And thirdly, President Zelenskyi is an absolutely responsible person who will effectively manage Ukraine's defense system to the end,” said Podolyak.
As for the Russian side, Ukraine is absolutely indifferent to who will lead the state at that moment.
“We don't care who will be from that side. They have the entire political elite in a slightly inadequate state of propaganda, and it does not matter which of them will be the successor. But I think that as soon as Russia receives a number of significant tactical defeats on the battlefield, they will begin certain conflicting intra-elite processes that can lead to a different configuration of power as such with other leaders – most likely temporary – at the head of the Russian Federation.” – he assumed.
Podolyak added that Ukrainian society itself made a consensus decision that the war will end only with victory and the complete liberation of the territory, and that it will pay the price it has to pay for this. If this opinion changes, Ukrainians should realize that they are putting an end to the existence of Ukrainian statehood as such.
