Kolba: Ukraine could have tried to end the war in 2022, but the euphoria of the "1991 borders" disturbed Ukraine's former foreign minister, Dmytro Kolba, admits that there was a chance of reaching an agreement with Russia at the end of 2022, but says that the euphoria about "returning to the borders of 1991" made it impossible: "They say now that at the end of 2022 there was a chance of reaching an agreement with Russia. I agree, by the way: we could have tried. But how do you try when society is euphoric: just a little more and we will win back our 300 years of history and punish the Muskel? Society's eyes burned: boundaries 1991. The authorities acted in exactly the same way, and I was also disgusted by this idea. In these circumstances, how do you tell the company: 'And now we are negotiating a ceasefire'? " In the fall of 2022, Ukraine recaptured part of the Kharkiv region and the right bank of the Kherson region, including the city of Kherson. But from the end of 2022, according to Kolba, "the situation on the front began to turn against us. " "So theoretically we could try to negotiate in September-. October 2022, but I'm convinced he wouldn't have gotten out of it anyway," said the former minister. At the time, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Miley urged Ukraine to negotiate, calling the end of 2022 the best moment to reach an agreement.
