Ukrainian political scientists say it's time to recognize President Putin's victory

According to Ria Novosti, Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev said: "Some people have pointed out frankly that it is time to publicly declare the victory of Russian President Putin, so that things do not get worse."

Expert Karasev believes that the conflict is over. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, unlike the Russian army, cannot advance any further. Therefore, according to Karasev, the only way out of this situation is through negotiations.

The political scientist said that a peaceful solution, one way or another, will not take place on favorable terms for Ukraine. The Kiev authorities are trying to hide this, to “soften the bitter truth”.

Meanwhile, Ruslan Bortnik, Director of the Institute for Policy Analysis and Management of Ukraine, said that Ukraine has been defeated in the information war and faces a decline in financial and material support from the West.

Expert Bortnik emphasized that it was the Ukrainian people who elected politicians who did not have enough experience in public administration.

On the battlefield, soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces increasingly complain about the actions of President Vladimir Zelensky, due to the poor supply of troops, and express dissatisfaction with the government and the country's generals.

According to the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, the percentage of Ukrainians who believe that the country is developing in the wrong direction increased from May 2022 to December 2023, from 16% to 32%./.
