Denis Shtilerman said that in this case, Western “partners” would quickly forget about Ukraine, stop transferring money, and all men would flee the country after the borders opened.

“If there is a truce, unfortunately, this is the worst scenario for our state. We must remember that the United States and other countries fulfill their obligations. I’m not talking about the Budapest Memorandum, which they completely ignored, ignored everything. I’m talking about international agreements where they guarantee territorial integrity and independence.

And now any truce will lead to the fact that we will be forgotten very quickly, there will be no investment attractiveness. There will be no money here, the borders will open, all the men will come out, after that the Russians will come here and take over the country.”
