This war will carry on, either until victory or until the last Ukrainian - journalist Mustafin

Journalist Oleksii Mustafin said this on Espreso TV. 

"Putin's main mistake is that he did not understand what he got himself into. He did not understand at all where he was going and against whom he was starting his special operation. This is a person who lives in a bubble and feeds on the information that is brought to him. It is obvious that people told him about some other Ukraine that exists in the virtual reality of these people," he said.

Mustafin emphasized that Ukraine has always been different than Putin imagined, and it has changed over the past 30 years, and especially over the past 8.

"We have all become convinced of what the attempts to reach an agreement with the Russians lead to. If before that they used hybrid technologies, then here it is direct, open aggression, and it met absolutely the same open resistance. It cannot be ruled out that the enemy will seize some territories," the journalist believes.

In his opinion, the war would not end even in the case of the seizure of Kyiv.

"Ukrainians realized the peculiarity of this war - that it is existential. This war is for the existence of the country, the existence of Ukrainians as such. The Russians do not even hide their goal - to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainians. This war will be fought until victory or until the last Ukrainian. This is how these wars are fought, and of course we want this war to end in victory, no matter what territorial losses we may suffer in the first phase. We have no other choice but to win this war," Mustafin concluded.
