The advisor to the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, Mykhailo Podolyak, has made a crucial statement to Ukraine's allies, citing his X post.

"Without illusions. There is no positional war (no advancement, but the intensity of fighting is extremely high), no signs of 'freezing'. RF has not solved its basic tasks (among which are destruction of a sovereign state, seizure and legal fixation of foreign territories, filtration/deportation and killing of large groups of disloyal population) and therefore continues to escalate," he said.

Podoliak emphasized that Russia is throwing all its resources into the war, and such a war only has a military solution.

"So, once again: let's have no illusions; it will not be possible to just sit and wait; it will still be necessary to dramatically expand military production and saturate Ukraine with a parity amount of weapons. The faster, the more effective and the better the situation will look," he said.

Calls for freezing the war

Leader of the German parliamentary group SPD, Rolf Muetzenich, during debates in the Bundestag, emphasized the need to freeze the war in Ukraine.

Earlier, the advisor to the head of the Presidential Office, Mykhailo Podolyak, said that freezing the war would only lead to its large scale resumption.

At the same time, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak opposed a sudden cessation of hostilities, as it would not result in a fair and stable peace for Ukraine.

Moreover, the leader of the German Green Party, Omid Nouripour, sharply responded to the proposal to freeze the war in Ukraine.

The Inspector General of the Bundeswehr warned against freezing the war in Ukraine.
