Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine said on September 29, 2022, that if Russia announced the annexation of the occupied territories of the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine, nothing would change on the battlefield.

Ukraine is determined to return all territories temporarily occupied by Russia, despite the pseudo-referendums held there and threats by the Russian military-political leadership to use nuclear weapons.
“We will liberate our territory by military means. And our actions depend not so much on what the Russian Federation thinks or wants, but on the military potential Ukraine has,” said Mykhailo Podolyak.
An adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine emphasized that it was “vitally necessary” for Ukraine to return all lands captured by Russia.
“Otherwise, Russia will feel that it has the right to blackmail the world, raise the stakes, escalate the conflict, and consider itself the winner in the brutal war against Europe.”
Therefore, according to Mykhailo Podolyak, it is necessary to completely liberate Ukrainian territory in order to ensure stability in Europe.
