Zelenskyy adviser warns of mutual destruction risk as Russia-Ukraine war escalates
Source Summary
Serhii Beskrestnov, Zelenskyy's defence technology adviser, warns that Russia and Ukraine are locked in an escalating war of long-range strikes with neither side able to entirely prevail. He expressed concern about Kyiv's prospects this winter and suggested evacuating elderly people in case Russian bombing knocks out the capital's energy supply. The deadlock on the frontline and increasing use of deep strikes are placing civilians and infrastructure at greater risk.
Why it matters
A senior Ukrainian defence official's warning of mutual destruction and inability to prevail signals deepening concerns within Kyiv about the war's trajectory and sustainability.
