President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said there are two possible scenarios before winter sets in: ending the war through negotiations with Russia, or an escalation of hostilities with a possible increase in mobilisation in Russia.

Quote: "We have two paths ahead of us this winter. The first path is that we find a way to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia and end this war. This is the priority. That's what I'm focused on. We understand who we're dealing with. Which means that the alternative, which is always sought not by Ukraine but by Russia, is an escalation of the war and an increase in mobilisation.
