According to Podolyak, without Russia's defeat, there are no effective security guarantees, and no one will agree to provide them.

There are no concepts of "territory in exchange for security guarantees" or any other "swap formats."

This was stated by Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President, commenting on an article in Corriere Della Sera that suggested President Zelenskyy was supposedly willing to agree to a ceasefire along the front line in exchange for certain commitments from the West.

Podolyak believes that without Russia's defeat, there are no effective security guarantees, and no one will agree to provide them, particularly because there are still too many deterrents to ensure adequate resource support for Ukraine."

Russia will continue its expansion, increasing its scope and realizing that there will be no ultimate accountability for mass crimes, and no one will intervene directly, even if it (Russia) is massacring thousands of civilians. Let’s leave aside illogical illusions and unjustified hopes," said the advisor to Yermak.

He criticized that some allies "lack the political will" to make effective decisions regarding "weapons and lifting informal bans."

"And what are these mythical and vague "deterrent security guarantees" in an unfinished war, if today some allies clearly lack the political will to make absolutely logical and effective (and much simpler) decisions... regarding weapons and lifting informal bans," - Podolyak stated.
