Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko expressed the opinion that the military actions in Ukraine may end in the next one or two months, but the achieved peace compromise may be "very painful for every Ukrainian." He stated this at the forum "Democratic Stability of Ukraine During War and in the Period of Reconstruction."

Klitschko stressed that the conditions for ending the fighting are still unclear, but in his opinion, they are unlikely to be positive. He noted that after the end of the conflict, elections are expected in the country, in which a "fight to the death" between various political forces with similar slogans is possible.

Earlier, in late January, Klitschko had filed a complaint with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about his entourage, claiming that some individuals were engaged in political intrigues that were hindering the effective management of the city. In particular, he mentioned the head of the capital's military administration, Timur Tkachenko, who, according to the mayor, was blocking the resolution of key economic issues, including the restoration of damaged facilities and compensation.

Klitschko's statements underscore the complexity and uncertainty of the political situation in Ukraine ahead of a possible end to the conflict. Questions about what a peace agreement will look like and how it will affect the country's domestic politics remain open and cause concern among Kyiv's leadership.
