Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Predicts War Will Be Over By ‘End Of Spring’ Next Year



Ukraine’s deputy defense minister Volodymyr Havrylov said during an interview with Sky News that he thinks the country’s war with Russia will likely be over by “the end of spring” next year, saying that “it’s the maximum time” the Russian troops have. “Intuition” said the minister, when asked what drew him to the conclusion. Ukraine has recently retaken significant swaths of land in the south and east of the country as part of a strong counteroffensive, forcing Russia to withdraw from the key southern city of Kherson last week.

    😆😆😆😆

  2. I'm looking at Christmas. Won't be pretty.

  3. Are you also selling a bridge I mean really you got to get with reality you're absolutely nuts you'll be lucky if kiev isn't taken. Zielinsky for sure will be gone soon though he's destroyed your country listening to the Americans and you can't admit it your own foolishness and stupidity starting fights picking fights this is what happens just like in a bar it's his basic is that

  4. Stay strong ppl of Ukraine 🇺🇦✔️🙏

  5. And for us, some distance countries, depict this war as a mess, killing innocent and send huge money to arm dealers

  6. zelenskyy better resign, only way this mess will end

  7. Yeah, an opinion based on poppycock.

  8. Too bad it couldn't be sooner, like now.

  9. I always pray to Lord Jesus Christ every day for peace negotiations..talking to each other looking for  peaceful solutions.. Lord Jesus Christ the true Lord..who died on the cross to atone for sins and rose again on the 3rd day.. only Lord Jesus Christ the way to  heaven  (eternal life )..Lord Jesus Christ is Lord in heaven and Lord on earth who died on the cross to atone for sins and rose again on the 3rd day..  only Lord Jesus Christ the way to  heaven or eternal life (a very beautiful heaven with Jesus  ) and LORD  creator of heaven and earth,,,,,,,…….really hate nuclear weapons,,because nuclear weapons  is  big sins.. big sins is the eternal fire of hellfire..nuclear weapons, are  big sins.. big sins is the eternal fire of hellfire..nuclear power plant is big sin..ballistic missiles and hypersonic missilesis big sins..nuclear power plant is big sins…….nuclear weapons  is  big sins.. big sins is the eternal fire of hellfire….

  10. Curious minds want to know where all those billions of dollars we keep sending to Ukraine have gone? Or why AOC and Bernie Sanders, who are anti-work candidates are okay with it.

  11. We all hope so, put as long as Putin is alive, all Ukraine is in danger

  12. "Intuition"
    Imagine the stench of that mustache, talking all that bullsh¡t…

  13. There's something happening here
    But what it is ain't exactly clear
    There's a man with a gun over there
    Telling me l got to beware.

  14. MAGA Q 47 🚸 United We STAND as AMERICANs FIRST = DE FUND the ZELENSKY NATO War of TERROR

  15. Where is Miguel Almaguer?

  16. Zelensky is lying and robbing his people.

  17. Wealth and glory are nothing but vanity;

    worldly pleasures and romance are nothing

    but suffering.

    The hard work of our lives will be all in vain,

    like trying to capture the moon in the water.

    When we leave this human world, we take

    with us nothing but our karma.

    Only when we understand this concept can

    we achieve true liberation, let go of the self,

    and attain Buddhahood.

  18. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BIDEN!!🎈🎈

  19. hopefully the war ends with russia’s extinction

  20. 😆😆😂🤣😆😂

    Nazi Ukrainian lies again. Anyone really paying attention knows the Russians are winning, and that Ukraine stand no chance. Just aske the millions of Ukrainians sitting in the dark with no Heat, electricity, water or food.

    US media is doing PR for fascist Ukraine and US weapons manufacturers.

  21. LIBERATE CRIMEA❤‍🔥

  22. Zelensky to Ukrainians. Get out of Ukraine to save electricity. 😂😂😂

  23. It looks like the Ruskies will freeze their *ss in this winter.

  24. From your lips to Gods ears! I believe it could be over by the spring, if we (and other countries) support Ukraine with what they need to fight. They are wonderful and fierce fighters to keep their country, as they should, as any country invaded by Russia/Putin would! God bless!

  25. How the Russian winter froze Hitler's Nazi empire in its tracks??
    AMERICANS WANT TO PLAY DIRTY!! now we will play real dirty!! september ny dirty!!
    FROZEN UK_ RAIN!! SNOW!! BABB IN THEIR PRAMS!!

  26. Realisically we lobbed a missle into Poland to get NATO involved, send more money Biden

  27. The usa stands behind ukraine and is aware of what the continued fight and rebuild will take

  28. Day 270: Friendly fire almost caused WWIII and Russia continues to target Ukrainian electricity.

    America are still the only monsters to have used nuclear weapons against Japan 77 years ago.

    Cheap homemade sea ski drones make battleships and subs a waste of human lives and money.

    Australia paid America 4 billion for 2 subs. 10K could have bought 3 sea skis at a garage sale.

  29. When Russia first invaded Ukraine, their Minister of Culture swore that the Russians would never take Ukraine. He just KNEW it. It was counter intuitive and didn't seem to be based on reality. But I believed him. And it turned out to be true.

    So when this man says by the end of the Spring, I believe it is true, as well. And I have actually thought that for some time now. I don't think Russia has the capability of continuing past then as long as the West hangs in there with Ukraine.

  30. Let's hope so but it'll take Putin and his pals pulling their heads out of their bumbums!

  31. Random b.s. Let's check back in the spring.

  32. Ukraine may pay for Biden's bribes but it does not pay my bills.

  33. butthurt Russian trolls are crying in the comments. it's hysterical.

  34. I hope the long war does not include US help! We can't afford it! Sorry…

  35. ❤️Zalenski❤️is darling and warrior of the free world!
    However, We can do more and need to do more for Ukraine!!!❤️🇺🇦   I poured all our home equity into supporting Ukraine and 25% of my children's College fund! I'm even in the midst of a divorce because my wife objected to my unwavering support. In my opinion, she's Un-American! I refuse to be married to anyone who doesn't support ukraine!❤️🇺🇦 Zalenski is a true darling and warrior of the free world!

  36. How much did he get paid to say that? As unlikely as it is, the birth of WW3 is more likely to happen before spring than the end of any existing war.

  37. How does it define "end of war"?

  38. 👆 – FIND YOUR LOVE IN YOU CITY! 🍒😘n❤
