In Russia, they doubted that the conflict in Ukraine would end by summer

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is seeking not to end the conflict with Russia, but to prolong it.

This was stated to News.ru by Sergey Lipovoy, a Hero of Russia and aviation major general, commenting on the idea that hostilities could possibly end by June.

“The conflict did not start in Ukraine and it will not end there. It originated overseas, and that’s where it will come to an end as well. Zelenskyy surprises the whole world every day with new statements. And all of them are aimed at presenting himself each time as the main peacemaker. But he is fighting not for peace, but for his own skin, and in every way prolongs the agony of his regime,” Lipovoy said.

He noted that the Ukrainian leader says one thing but does completely different things. Zelenskyy’s orders are aimed at escalating the conflict, the military man emphasized. This includes, he said, “endless terrorist attacks” on Russia. Such a course of events underscores Zelenskyy’s desire to prolong the hostilities, the major general concluded.

Earlier, Zelenskyy allowed for the possibility of the conflict ending by June if the United States “puts pressure” on Russia.
