How can Ukraine get out of this war?

Our victory lies in exhausting Russia. We do not know when the point of no return for it will come, but we cannot abandon this strategy, because otherwise we will exhaust ourselves and lose the war.

For now, we are not being left the option of a “simple ceasefire” without an agreement. What is being imposed on us is specifically an agreement of capitulation.

The best outcome for us is to exit the war through its fading, but without subordination to Russia. For the Russian Federation, victory means subjugating Ukraine. For them, war is a means to impose their political will.

"If we preserve sovereignty over at least most of our territory, maintain legal independence and freedom of action on the international stage, as well as the prospect of integration into military-political alliances, economic development, and trade — then we will endure."

Then history may call us victors, or at the very least — unbeaten.
