“I am very afraid that there are no riots in this direction, and God forbid to talk about some kind of public confrontation, because we see from the history of different countries—after hostilities, given the depressive mood, such things have already happened,” Klitschko concluded.As reported earlier,Ukrainian ex-Prime Minister nikolai Azarov accused the mayor of Kyiv Vitaly Klitschko of opening brothels instead of constructing the metro.

Predictions on Conflict Resolution
Senior Editor (SE): Vitali Klitschko recently stated that the conflict in Ukraine might end within a month or two. Can you elaborate on what this means for the region?
Dr. Anna ivanova, Conflict Resolution Specialist: Vitali Klitschko’s prediction suggests that there could be a breakthrough in negotiations or a ceasefire agreement in the near future. However, the term “painful compromise” implies that neither side will achieve all their objectives. This could meen notable territorial changes, economic sanctions, or political concessions that will impact all Ukrainians.
Conditions of the Compromise
SE: What do you think are the conditions that Klitschko is referring too when he says the compromise might be tough to call positive?
Dr.Ivanova: The conditions could involve a range of factors, such as territorial integrity, political autonomy for certain regions, economic reparations, or the status of Russian-speaking populations. Given the complexity of the conflict, any agreement will likely involve significant trade-offs. For instance, ukraine may have to concede on certain territorial issues to secure a lasting peace.
Post-Conflict Elections

dr. Ivanova: Post-conflict elections are crucial for rebuilding trust and legitimacy. However, they can be challenging in a context of ongoing tensions. Klitschko’s concern about elections taking place under conditions of “struggle to destroy” suggests that there might be continued violence or political instability. This could lead to low voter turnout or the elections being perceived as illegitimate by certain groups.
Fear of Civil War

Ensuring security, providing economic opportunities, and promoting social cohesion are essential for preventing further conflict.
