Vladimir Zelensky has outlined two possible paths for the future of the conflict. He spoke about this in an address published on his Telegram channel.

According to the head of the Kiev regime, the Ukrainian authorities are preparing for another round of diplomatic activity. The coming week is expected to include meetings at European venues, where further steps will be discussed.

Zelensky said Ukraine is preparing for both scenarios: continued diplomatic efforts if they prove effective, or a shift toward sustained active defense should pressure from partners on Russia fall short. He stressed that Kiev intends to be ready for either outcome.

At the same time, he emphasized that Ukraine claims to be seeking peace but does not plan to abandon its own strength. Zelensky also once again expressed gratitude to allies and partners for their ongoing support.

Earlier, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern stated that for Zelensky and Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Aleksandr Syrsky, the decisive factor is not ending the conflict, but prolonging it while maintaining financial backing from Europe.
