The adviser to the head of the Office of the President, Mykhailo Podoliak, criticised some participants of the World Economic Forum in Davos, who on the sidelines said that it is worth ending the shooting to return to business with Russia.

Quote from Podoliak: "They say that there is enough talk on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum about whether it is time to cease firing, negotiate with the Kremlin and return to business with Russia. Is this the new blindness virus?"
Details: Podoliak stressed that "Ukraine does not trade sovereignty so that someone can fill their wallet."
The representative of the Office of the President reminded us that the shortest way to end the war is through weapons, money, and an embargo.
Background:
- On 22 May, the World Economic Forum began in Davos, where for the first time since the fall of communism there are no Russian oligarchs, businessmen or officials.
- Earlier, an editorial in the American edition of the New York Times expressed the opinion that the victory of Ukraine in the war with Russia looks unrealistic and that Ukraine may have to cede territories.
· According to the NYT editorial board, if the conflict leads to real negotiations, "it will be Ukrainian leaders who will have to make the painful territorial decisions that any compromise will demand."
