The journalist, upon hearing this statement, remarked that according to Ukrainian law, elections can take place only after the war.
Nikolai Stepanchuk confirmed this, after which the journalist inquired: "And how will it end?"
"Russia returns all territories it has seized since 2014, including all of Donbas and Crimea, and pays reparations," the MP replied.
When asked if this scenario was "a bit unrealistic," the brother of the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament responded briefly: "Not at all."
The report mentions that the conversation took place in a "cozy restaurant" in Khmelnytskyi at the time when law enforcement uncovered the head of the Khmelnytskyi regional center for medical and social expertise, Tatyana Krupa, who is suspected of illegal enrichment. The Polish journalist referred to the report as "The Plan for Ukraine's Defeat." According to the journalist, draft evasion and corruption, "intertwined in one story," are just two of the issues facing Ukraine that create a "ready plan for defeat," and this, he claims, is most evident in the Donetsk region.
