Ukraine cannot beat Russia on the battlefield and will have to enter talks with Vladimir Putin, one of Kyiv’s senior military commanders has admitted.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly ruled out talks with the Kremlin over the course of the two-year war, and a decree he issued after Russia formally annexed four Ukrainian regions in 2022 deems negotiations ‘impossible’.
