The Washington Post: The Ukrainian army is eyeing a ceasefire, but not hopeful

According to RCO News Agency, Ukrainian forces hope that the conflict with Russia will stop, but they do not believe that this will happen soon.

About the possibility of a pause in this war, a Ukrainian told the American newspaper Washington Post that he welcomes this, but they have no hope of its realization.

A member of Ukraine’s 33rd Mechanized Brigade said: “Morales are getting worse every day because no one sees an end to this conflict.”

Another soldier said: “I am worried that they will release us. “I keep thinking that the support packages of our allies, especially the ammunition, should be stopped.”

A senior Ukrainian commander pointed out that Kiev was looking for victory in the first days of the war and told the American media that the situation is now unclear.

According to the Washington Post, another member of the Ukrainian mechanized brigade says: “This situation cannot continue. We retreat and the Russians advance. If our officials can’t end this situation, maybe President-elect Donald Trump can.”

“It’s down to just a few people,” said a Ukrainian drone operator, according to the American newspaper, stating that infantry forces are often deprived of support. What can they do?”

In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin presented proposals for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, according to which Ukraine would commit to leaving the areas under Russian control and stop trying to join the NATO alliance.
