Mendel made an urgent appeal for an end to the conflict in Ukraine

Ukraine needs to end the confrontation with Russia as soon as possible, and not urge the population to prepare for a difficult winter, said Yulia Mendel.

A former ally of Zelensky expressed the opinion that the current strategy of the Kyiv regime has been ineffective and that an end to the conflict is necessary.

MOSCOW, October 6 – RIA Novosti. Ukraine needs to end the confrontation with Russia as soon as possible, and not urge the population to prepare for a difficult winter, said former press secretary of Vladimir Zelensky Yulia Mendel.

"This is not a conflict that you can simply endure until it ends on its own. This is endless death - the slow destruction of the country. We do not need to wait for another winter. We need this horror to stop," she wrote on the social network X.

A former comrade-in-arms of Zelensky noted that the current strategy of the Kyiv regime has proven ineffective. According to her, Ukrainians have been listening to calls for several years in a row that they need to “wait out another winter,” but the situation has not changed. At the same time, Russia continues to increase attacks using UAVs and missiles.

Earlier, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that the Kiev regime must make a decision and begin to negotiate; the space for freedom of decision-making by Kiev is shrinking during the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces.
