Ukraine wants to end war completely by winter – top security official

He said this in an interview with the Report news agency.

“We want to end the war completely by winter…” he said.

When asked whether the war will end with the full restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, including the liberation of Crimea, Danilov said:

“We have a common plan to liberate all our territories from the terrorists who attacked us. The only question is time. Whether one or several operations will be conducted depends on many circumstances. We will not be limited by time, we will fight as long as it takes.”

• On May 10, Secretary of Ukraine's Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said that the final plans for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive had not yet been approved.
