Russian newspaper: Negotiations or ruin for Ukraine. A Russian newspaper report suggests that the Russian-Ukrainian war during the next few months will lead to major destruction in Ukraine.

The report, written by the newspaper's military editor, Mikhail Mikhailovich Khodarenok, addresses how the strategic operational situation will develop. He said that this means that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky must face a clear choice: either negotiate or have his country turned into ruins, in which case its restoration may take several decades.
