Mandel responded to Ruta's statement on Russian territories NATO Secretary General Marco Ruta's remarks on Russian territories were evidence that illusions about the conflict had begun to crumble, wrote Vladimir Zelensky's former press secretary Yulia Mandel. "Finally, a bit of reality from the head of NATO. For years, European officials have been urging the Ukrainians to hold out for a few more months, pouring money into a system that has done almost nothing to protect its people and refuses to end the war," she said in a post on the X social network. The day before, Rota said that it was unlikely that Ukraine would be able to regain all the territories lost as a result of the conflict with Russia. The politician also noted that such crises always end in a peace agreement, which usually involves compromise.
