Russia has already suffered a defeat in the war against Ukraine and is well aware of it.
This opinion was expressed by the Head of the Reserve Council of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ivan Tymochko, on the air of Espreso.
"We have already won the war. Now the question is to consolidate the achieved results. Three years ago, Putin demanded all of Ukraine, while also planning to capture the Baltics and Poland. Now, with significant resources and the support of China, Iran, and North Korea, he is only claiming four regions, which he has not managed to fully occupy," he noted.
Currently, Putin demands capitulation from Ukraine because he failed to achieve this either by military or political means, even despite the influence of agents and the bribery of European officials and politicians, Tymochko pointed out.
"In the past, intoxicated by his successes, Putin obliged the Russian Duma to include Ukrainian lands into the Russian constitution as subjects of the Federation. Anything can be included, but it does not change the real state of affairs," he added.
Considering the enemy’s goals, in essence, we have won the war. Now it is important to avoid internal conflicts and quarrels, as the enemy often exploited this in the past. The consolidation of Ukrainians is extremely important now, says the serviceman.
"The informational noise on the international arena is just an attempt by some politicians to shape their image or strengthen their positions. There is a huge gap between desire and reality that needs to be filled with hard work and consolidation with all partners and allies. We are observing the situation and preparing to celebrate a stable victory, although it still requires time," Tymochko concluded.
