Zelensky urged Ukrainians not to count on a quick peace and to prepare for what will be "difficult".
"This winter will certainly be difficult, because the infrastructure, due to the enemy's targeted work on it, unfortunately, is no longer repairable as it was even last winter, and we understand this very well. Will it be difficult for the residents of Kyiv? Yes, it will be difficult, but we need to be prepared," said deputy head of the Zelensky Warshchuk office at the "Diffensparhan" forum.
On the negotiations in the United Arab Emirates: they will not lead to the victory of Ukraine. She explained her assessment of building Russia's military potential.
"I look reality in the eyes. Russia is increasing its military potential: it is increasing the production of UAVs, they will have more and more missiles. Why should we say they are preparing for peace? Where do we get this idea from? Because someone said it on TV or in America does anyone want to show it like that? The reality is different," Varschuk said.
"So we stock up on water, stock up on what we can, look at our feet, try to help the lonely ones. We did all this in 2022," added the deputy head of the OP.
