We discuss Ukraine’s progress on all prioritized reform areas— judicial reform, anticorruption, media and national minorities law. We conclude that Ukraine has delivered faster progress than anyone expected in 2022; the main danger is loss of momentum and backlash by entrenched corrupt interests.

Because Ukraine is in vulnerable position, it is an easy scapegoat for everything. We're under attack and depend on our partners for support. We're forced to perform true miracles of patience and diplomacy. But blaming Ukraine didn’t work for Orbán in Hungary, and it won’t work for Trump in the US.

Q: "It's not just Trump, we also heard from Elon Musk saying Zelenskyy has gone too far. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war?" Zelenskyy: "Because these people can't find a key to how to stop Putin. Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others..."

As you can see, Russia is definitely preparing for peace, with another 41% hike in Defence spending in the 2027 budget. In fact it's probably more as all the other budget increases are probably linked to war, except education. The line which didn't translate is "Housing"
