Oleksiy Arestovich, an adviser to the Ukrainian president's chief of staff, said the war could be over 'in two weeks' or by mid-May.
The war in Ukraine could be over no later than mid-May, according to an adviser to the Ukrainian president's chief of staff.
In a video shared by Ukrainian media, Oleksiy Arestovich said that Russia is likely to run out of resources to keep attacking Ukraine in the next two months. "I think that no later than in May, early May, we should have a peace agreement, maybe much earlier, we will see, I am talking about the latest possible dates," Arestovich said, according to Reuters.
Arestovich couldn't predict the exact day the war will end, as he said that will depend on the Kremlin's decision to either forgo its campaign in Ukraine or"We are at a fork in the road now: there will either be a peace deal struck very quickly, within a week or two, with troop withdrawal and everything, or there will be an attempt to scrape together some, say,, when we grind them too, an agreement by mid-April or late April," Arestovich said.
Arestovich also said that Moscow might decide to send freshly trained conscripts to the war zone. But the government adviser said that even if these newly trained troops are sent over to Ukraine in early May, the war would still end by mid-May.Arestovich is not personally involved in the ongoing diplomatic talks between Ukraine and Russia, which will continue on Tuesday. Despite four rounds of talks, Ukrainian and Russian officials have not made any significant progress in ending the conflict.
