According to Reznikov, he considers the current year a potential chance to end the active phase of hostilities.
"I still think that this year remains a window of opportunity for freezing this war,"
At the same time, the former minister clarified that he is speaking specifically about "freezing" the war, not its complete conclusion. Furthermore, he noted that Russia itself may seek to freeze the war due to economic difficulties and the need to restore military capabilities.
"It is a matter of the Kremlin's interest to freeze this war because they need time to restore capacity if they truly want to survive, and also because they have serious economic problems,"
