In the most precise prediction by a senior Ukrainian official to date, Major General Kyrylo Budanov says he thinks the war will be over by year-end.
."Most of the active combat actions will have finished by the end of this year."
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, has seen significant bombarded since Russia began its full scale invasion in late February. "It will be necessary to respond ... by taking adequate precautionary measures that would ensure the viability of deterrence," Interfax agency quoted Grushko as saying.

Russia will"almost certainly" manipulate the results of any referendum held in Kherson to decide whether to leave Ukraine, the Defence Ministry said.Kherson lies on the Dnipro River near the Black Sea, only about 60 miles from Crimea, which Russia took over the last time it invaded Ukraine in 2014. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said although Ukrainians are doing everything they can to drive out the Russians,"no one today can predict how long this war will last."
"And for what? So that the Lenin statue can stand for a bit longer in temporarily occupied Genichesk? There is and can be no other result for Russia."
