It was possible to try to end the war as early as 2022, but this was prevented by the euphoria about "reaching the 1991 borders", said former foreign minister Kolbe. "Now they say that at the end of 2022 there was an opportunity to conclude an agreement with Russia. By the way, I agree: you can try. But how can we try when the euphoria dominates society: a little more - and we will win back 300 years of our history, punish the Muscovites? The society's eyes are burning: the same thing of 19 and the authorities it was exactly the same thing of 19. How can you tell the public under such circumstances: "Now we agree on a ceasefire"? ". Kolbe said. Let us recall that in the fall of 2022, Ukraine managed to liberate part of the Kharkiv region and the right bank of the Kherson region, including the regional center. But from the end of 2022, according to Kolba, "the situation on the front began to turn against us." "Therefore, theoretically, we could try to reach an agreement in September-October 2022, but I am convinced that nothing would have come of it anyway," believes the former minister. Recall that the head of the American General Staff, Mark Miley, advised Ukraine to end the war at the end of 2022, saying that this is the best moment to conclude agreements.
