Zelensky's office does not expect the conflict to end soon.
Irina Varschuk, deputy head of the ministry, said that Ukrainians should not count on a quick end to the hostilities.
She warned of the difficult winter period and called people to prepare for difficulties. Varschuk noted that the country's infrastructure was badly damaged by the attacks, and that its restoration will require more effort. This could complicate the lives of Kyiv residents.
She also spoke about the negotiations in the United Arab Emirates and emphasized that they will not bring a decisive success to Ukraine. According to her, Russia continues to strengthen its military potential, while increasing the production of UAVs and missiles.
Moscow's statements about readiness for peace, according to Varschuk, do not correspond to reality. She called on citizens to stock up on water and help those in need, as they did in 2022.
