Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said that Russia is gathering and distributing resources to fight in Ukraine until 2027.
– I will analyze not only Putin’s statements, but also the work of the Russian military-industrial complex, the country’s economic potential, and the emphasis on defense and the continuation of military operations in 2025, Kovalenko said on Saturday, according to the UNIAN news agency. According to him, Russia is collecting and distributing resources that will allow it to fight in Ukraine until 2027.
– The Russians are doing everything they can to blame Ukraine for the lack of agreement or agreement and prepare the means for further military action. I hope that not only us, but also the new administration of Donald Trump and the European Union have noticed this, – added the director of the Center for Combating False Information.

He noted that the Russian president can be forced to negotiate “only by force” and this should be done by countries that “support the actions of the Kremlin, especially China.” – If Beijing manages to participate in the negotiations, but not on the part of Moscow, Russia’s speech will change. Kovalenko said that the Kremlin cannot maintain the intensity of the war with Ukraine without help to lift the sanctions.
“Like a cage fight”
In a report published in late December, the US Institute for the Study of War noted that Vladimir Putin “has accepted a proposal from US President-elect Donald Trump’s team that Ukraine’s membership in NATO be delayed for at least a decade, and Russia will agree , refused to end the war against Ukraine.” .
Gen. Keith Kellogg, who was chosen by Donald Trump to be the special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, has previously admitted that both countries are “tired of war”.
– It’s like a cage fight. You have two players and both want to give up. You need a judge to separate them. And I think President Donald Trump can do that,” Kellogg said in an interview on Fox Business.
