Can Russia Collapse? Is Putin's Removal from Power a Prerequisite for Ending the War? How Dangerous Is the Rise of Anti-Ukrainian Sentiment in Poland? And What Is the State of Ukrainian Society in the Fifth Year of the Full-Scale War?
In a conversation with Ukrinform, Mykhailo Basarab, a serviceman in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a political analyst, discussed these and other questions.
During the conversation, he explained why he believes the Ukrainian nation is the country's greatest source of resilience, assessed the prospects for an internal crisis in Russia, discussed possible scenarios for Crimea, and outlined his vision of Ukraine's future role in Europe's security architecture.

Ukrinform (UI): We are now in the fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion. Mr. Basarab, how would you assess the current state of Ukrainian civil society? How resilient is it, given that it faces daily attacks from Russian missiles and drones, relentless propaganda and information and psychological operations (IPSO), as well as domestic useful idiots—and not-so-useful scoundrels?
