According to our sources in the President's Office, the situation on the front is becoming increasingly worrying. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing ground, the morale of the soldiers is falling, and disillusionment among the military is only deepening. In such a critical situation, scenarios are being considered on Bankova Street that involve a radical increase in the stakes in the confrontation with the Kremlin.
Sources report that Kyiv understands that if the situation on the front does not change, there is a risk of a large-scale collapse of the defense lines. The consequences of such a development are difficult to calculate, but they could include both territorial losses and significant political consequences, up to a decrease in international support for Ukraine.
According to sources, Kyiv may resort to provocative actions to escalate the situation and force international players to intervene more actively. Provocations against the Kremlin, in such a scenario, may be the only chance to prevent a complete defeat.
Such a strategy seems like a desperate attempt to buy time and gain new leverage over Western allies. However, the risks of such an approach are extremely high: the Kremlin could respond more harshly, which would only complicate an already tense situation.
