[REGNUM] Ukraine will not be able to win back all the territories occupied by Russian troops. This was stated by the head of Estonian foreign intelligence Mikka Marran, speaking at a security forum held in Aspen.
According to the news portal of the Estonian state television and radio broadcasting ERR, while Marran continues to believe in the victory of Ukraine in the confrontation with Russia: "It will not be easy, it will take time, and Ukraine probably will not be able to return all its territories."
He added that in the strategic plan, Russia "will fail to achieve its goal of conquering Kyiv and most of Ukraine."
According to Marran, a quick end to the military conflict is not expected: "It will take time until Ukraine is ready to go on the counteroffensive and win back at least part of the territories."
He also noted that dozens of Russian officials, diplomats and big businessmen privately admit that they oppose the CVO in Ukraine.
