Shoot in the Donbass can be stopped already in the coming months, but the war in Ukraine will end when the state returns the territories now occupied. Return Donbass probably for 10 years, annexed Crimea - for 25 years. This opinion was expressed by VYACHESLAV VLASENKO (callsign for "Filin") in an interview with Apostrof, the commander of the 46th special battalion of the Special Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Donbass-Ukraine.

Under what condition will the war in Ukraine end? I often raise such a question (about the sign that the war in Ukraine has ended - "Apostrophe"). And more often than not I hear in response: the war will end when the Donbass cease shooting at each other. But no, this is not the end of the war. The war will end when we restore our territorial integrity, regain our land.

On this issue, there are many difficult questions. First of all, are we ready to regain our territory by military means? Personally, I'm ready. Battalion "Donbass-Ukraine" - ready. But let's go to any street in Kiev and ask a thousand men (not women, namely men): are they ready to die? The answer is we know, right? Or let's stop a thousand cars, especially those whose brands are more expensive - their owners are ready to give their lives there, at the front? No.

We stopped the enemy. And the war will end when the aggressor country that launched this war will be unprofitable with us to fight. We will return our territory when, for Russia, this territory becomes a burden when it ceases to represent, as they often say, a national interest for the Russian Federation.

And these conditions are just now being created. This is an economic pressure, when they lose more than they receive. These are political decisions that are taken in our country. The war was dragged into such a frozen stage. And I think that the shooting will stop by the end of this year. (Why do I think so? - "Apostrophe") I had a prophetic dream.

About when Ukraine will return the occupied territories When will we return our lands? Donbass, I think, in ten years. Crimea - a quarter of a century. I'm not a gypsy to guess. These are my thoughts. However, I very rarely make mistakes.

People in the occupied territories were zombie stories that now Russia will come, we will live happily here, we will have a high pension.

In fact, they sold out. And now they see that they have bought into an outright lie.

At one time they went to "referendums" and voted against Ukraine, for secession from Ukraine. Therefore, ideally, they should be brought to such a state that they again gathered, again went to a referendum and asked Ukraine to take them back. Of course, they will be responsible for their actions. But then it will be possible to consider this question.

And then the war will end.
