One of the options end of the war There could be a freeze in Ukraine along the current front line.

Advisor to the Head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak said this in an interview with an Italian newspaper. The Republic."Ukraine's previous position is this: one of the scenarios for exiting the war is freezing the conflict along the front line. These are the territories that are currently occupied by Russia. They will remain so," he noted.

Further, according to Podoliak, there will be a lot of work using economic, diplomatic, and other tools to return these territories to Ukraine, although de jure they will remain Ukrainian.

He emphasized that the issue of transferring territories to Russia is completely excluded.

"How concessions to the aggressor can lead to the end of the war. In this way, the aggressor does not pay for aggression, on the contrary. So why should he stop? So we only encourage him. In addition, Zelensky clearly said: the transfer of territories to Russia is prohibited," said the advisor to the head of the Presidential Office.

"This is not just a constitutional issue. It is impossible to unilaterally cede territory to the aggressor," he explained.

Podoliak noted that even in the event of a freeze on the war, analogies with the"Korean" or "German" scenarios are inappropriate.

At the same time, he confirmed that if such a scenario were to be implemented, it would mean de facto, but not legal, recognition of the temporarily occupied territories.

"De jure, no one recognizes these territories as Russian," he summarized.
