That is a different supposition to know that it can continue with the West's support, but if we are talking about withdrawing from the negotiations, that's not about the continuation of the war, that you don't need Western support.

We can interpret that that way. But Boris Johnson represented, at that point, Britain, not the United States. And really what the war showed, and it was clear already at that time, that what was needed was massive support from the West as a whole. And the promise of that support came only after the West realized that Ukraine can win.

and came only in late April with the Rammstein, so at least a few weeks later. So I don't know how much Boris Johnson could promise. He probably could promise to try to help and try to convince and try to work on that. If Zelenskyy acted on that promise, he certainly was taking a risk.

But the key issue, again, I'm going back where I started, it's principle and acceptance for Ukraine, the conditions that were offered. And Ukraine was, the moment they saw the possibility that they could fight back with Johnson's support, without Johnson's support, they took the chance.

It's a question on the one level very easy to answer, on the other, very difficult. The level on which it is very easy, it's a broad historical perspective. If you really believe, and I believe in that, that this is the war of the Soviet succession, that this is the war of the disintegration of empire, we know how this story ends. And they end with disintegration of empire.

They end with the rise of the new states and the appearance of the new colored spots on the map. That's the story that started with the American Revolution. So that's long-term perspective. The difficult part is, of course, what will happen tomorrow. The difficult part is what there will be in two days or even in two years. And in very broad terms, the war can end in one of three scenarios.

The victory of one side, the victory of another side, and a sort of a stalemate and compromise, especially when it comes to the territories. This war is already approaching the end of the second year. I follow the news and look analysis. I don't remember one single piece suggesting that the next year will bring peace, or will bring peace for sure.
