Quote: "We have different scenarios [for 2026 – ed.] that we are forecasting. They depend on many factors. Whether they have mobilisation or not.

Everything will be fine [if mobilisation is announced in Russia – ed.]. We have a scenario for how to deal with it. Under such a scenario, we will reach our target of wiping out 50,000 Russians per month faster."

Details: Speaking about 2026, Fedorov added that Ukraine currently has a window of opportunity: "We will open a new window when we see that this one is closing."

Background: In January, Fedorov said that one of Ukraine's strategic goals is to inflict up to 50,000 casualties on Russian forces each month, making the war unsustainable for Russia.
