Zelensky's Ex-Spokesperson Urges Ukraine to Agree Peace Deal with Russia
Yulia Mendel, former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has called on Ukrainian authorities to conclude a peace agreement with Russia immediately. She cited estimates that the conflict costs $155 billion annually, rising to $175 billion by 2027, with the budget covering only about $100 billion. Mendel warned that the country cannot sustain such heavy losses indefinitely and may have to negotiate on 'ruins' if they wait for 'ideal conditions'.6 sourcesSee all sources
