“Any discussion about the necessity of continuing military assistance to Ukraine must invariably be based on the sole (catastrophic) alternative - a 'frozen conflict'. This 'frozen' state is not in some abstract realm of 'political expediency,' but against the backdrop of a large-scale massacre of civilians, a major war, an enormous number of unequivocal war crimes and crimes against humanity … and the persisting insane desire of the Russian Federation to obliterate Ukraine's agency.”

“Firepower and passive defences - minefields, trenches for instance - seem to have neutralised the capabilities of mechanised and airborne forces. If there is a critical development it will be a collapse due to exhaustion - like a boxing match where one fighter simply can't take the blows, but not from a knock-out punch.”

“The winter is just going to reinforce the misery … neither side is going to have a tactical or operational breakthrough. I think they're going to try to push through in the winter. The ground freezes, [they'll] try to make some moves because they're desperate. I don't mean the Ukrainians. I mean the Russians. The soldiers won't want to do it. It will be a disaster. There will be more dead bodies.”

“The conflict had reached a transitional phase where both sides hold the initiative in different parts of the front. Overall, Ukraine's offensive in the south has either culminated or is about to. My sense is that the artillery advantage that Ukraine had for much of its offensive is now going to recede, and that Ukraine's ammunition availability is going to be constrained. Russia will also be forced to conserve ammunition, but will now increasingly benefit from the influx of supply coming from North Korea.”

“The Ukrainians are gradually gaining ground...They have been able to breach the defensive lines of the Russian forces, and they are moving forward. No one ever said that this was going to be easy. Hardly any time in history we have seen more mines on the battlefield than we are seeing in Ukraine today. So it was obvious that this was going to be extremely difficult. They are making progress. Not perhaps as much as we hoped for but they are gaining ground gradually. Some hundred meters per day, meaning that when the Ukrainians are gaining ground, the Russians are losing ground.”

“Ukraine has made it clear it will not give a running commentary on what is going on as it appears to not want to give up the element of surprise. What is or what may be going on now, well, military analysts have given their view, and their view is that Ukraine is engaged in a series of probing attacks, so-called shaping operations ahead of the counteroffensive. Probing Russian weaknesses, looking for vulnerabilities and, at the same time, essentially keeping Russia guessing.”

“To ensure real security for residents of Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions and protect them from shelling, it will be necessary to introduce a demilitarisation zone of 100-120km. Such a zone, which cannot be used or occupied by military forces, would likely require a mandatory international control contingent at the first stage. A demilitarised zone should be a key topic of a post-war settlement.”
