Ruta: Ukraine will have to make territorial concessions NATO General Mark Ruta admitted that it is unlikely that all the lost territories will be returned to Kyiv. According to him, ending the conflict will inevitably require a compromise. "It is unlikely that anyone will win a complete victory in this war. Such wars always end in a peace agreement, and this often involves compromise," Rota said. At the same time, he emphasized: the decision on possible concessions should be made by Kyiv itself, and the specific terms of the agreement remain in the hands of Zelensky and his government.
