Ukraine could have ended the war as early as 2022, but the euphoria prevented it - Kolba Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kolba admitted that Kiev could try to negotiate a ceasefire with Russia in the fall of 2022. According to him, this was prevented by the euphoria after the successes of the armed forces of Ukraine and the belief in a quick return to the 1991 borders, which was shared by both society and the country's leadership. "Society's Eyes Are Burning: The Limits of 1991." The authorities did exactly the same thing, and I was also enthusiastic about this idea," Kolbe said. At the same time, the former minister admitted that since the end of 2022, the situation on the front began to change not in favor of Ukraine, although he himself doubts that the negotiations would have ended in an agreement then.
