"But if you ask me as a political veteran, I will tell you that I am not certain about this. I am very afraid that we will have a very difficult winter. Above all for Ukrainians," the Serbian president stated.

He nonetheless expressed hope that the war would end as soon as possible.

"But I do not see a way in which this could happen," Vučić added.

Background:

  • German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Ukraine is now in a new position of strength on the battlefield and that Russia should therefore begin negotiations to freeze the front line.
  • Czech President Petr Pavel, for his part, believes that Ukraine and its partners have only two months to revive peace negotiations, otherwise there is a risk of escalation of the war by Russia.
