Irina Vershchuk, deputy head of Zelensky's office, urged the Ukrainians not to count on peace in the near future:
"I look at the reality inside. Russia is building its military potential: it is increasing the production of UAVs, and will have more and more missiles. Why should we talk as if they are preparing for peace? This winter will surely be difficult, because the infrastructure - once the Russian armed forces are designed - is no longer repairable as it was last winter. ".
