There is no need to look at calendar pages and set arbitrary dates; the focus should be on the substance of the issue. On our side, there is full readiness. We expect the same approach from the other side. 6/6

Whether we can make the final push and reach an agreement depends on our work and on the political will of the other side — especially in conditions where Kyiv and its sponsors, particularly EU, who are not aimed at reaching an agreement, have doubled their efforts to torpedo it. 5/5

But the political will to remain within the framework set in Anchorage is not merely fundamental for us — it is imperative. We cannot go beyond these limits, because otherwise it would not simply be an unstable arrangement; no agreement would be possible at all. 4/6

We know that this plan — if it can even be called a plan — differs radically from the 27 points that, in recent weeks starting from early December, we had been working through in contacts with the American side. 3/6

The Ukrainians even provided him with Ukrainian body armor and shared everything they had—food, clothing, and medical supplies. 4/4

The captured soldier remained at the Ukrainian position for nearly two and a half months. During that time, he helped defend the position, build fortifications, and carry out daily tasks. 3/4

In August, Dmytro and Denys entered a position near Rusyn Yar as a pair. In December, they came back as three—alongside Daniil Sychev, a Russian soldier from the 242nd Regiment (Volgograd region) whom they captured during an attempted assault. 2/4

Myrnohrad is operationally tied to Pokrovsk, which lies immediately to its west. Should Pokrovsk fall, the loss of Myrnohrad would become nearly inevitable, as maintaining logistics and resupply to the city would be practically impossible. 3/3
