"It is no coincidence that the Ukrainian media returned to the topic of transferring the war to the enemy's territory after the bombing and missile attacks on Ukraine during the Christmas and New Year holidays by the Russian military. Now they have begun to write about it again, because it is a direct consequence of the fact that a coalition has been formed in Congress to supply Ukraine with modern weapons and medium-range missile systems - a range of 300 to 800 km," Bezsmertnyi said.
The diplomat called this decision a great stabilising moment in 2023.
"So, this is what we are talking about. If we add to this the fact that today we are getting armoured vehicles and F-16s, we can be quite hopeful about 2023 in terms of stabilisation - first of all, for me this is the most important thing - in the information and psychological state. This depression that was present at the end of 2023, is dangerous not because it breaks the front line, but because it kills our feelings," he added.
