Russia's war against Ukraine can end with two key factors. This was stated by Ukrainian journalist and political observer Vitaliy Portnikov on Radio Liberty .
According to Portnikov, an important factor in the end of the war is the state of the Russian economy that will not allow the Kremlin to continue armed aggression.
“The first condition is the economic situation of Russia that will not allow Putin to continue the war. And we do not know if this condition has already been achieved, ” the journalist said.
Portnikov also stressed that the Kremlin could stop the war, if it does not have economic and military resources, but at the same time will be able to achieve its goals through the political destabilization of Ukraine.
"It is terror, different lines of split that Russia can use," he added.
Earlier, Portnikov noted that security guarantees are important for Ukraine, and the most effective option is to join NATO, since Russia is not ready for war with the Alliance.
