‘The culmination of the fighting’: Zelensky was shown in what borders Ukraine will remain in

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the country’s government will have to make territorial concessions to settle the conflict in the country.

This was stated by the columnist of the Czech newspaper Lidovky Jan Mahacek.

“If the Ukrainian counter-offensive reaches a climax in late August – early September, the conflict could be frozen along the front line, and in time Ukraine would formally or informally give up four regions in exchange for American (Western) security guarantees,” the author speculates.

He noted that no new arms deliveries, which will include F-16 aircraft and long-range ATACMS missiles, will help Kiev turn the tide on the battlefield. The Russian Air Force and Air Defense Forces are expected to have the advantage, the columnist emphasized.

According to Makhachek, freezing the conflict will reduce tensions with Russia and allow for the formation of a new security architecture in Europe. After the hot phase of the confrontation is over, the U.S. will be able to shift its attention to the Pacific region, where its key rival is located, he summarized.
