**Ukraine Defense Expert Warns Against Ceasefire Without Weakening Russia**
Mykola Bielieskov, a Ukrainian defense expert, has warned that accepting a ceasefire without weakening Russia’s military capabilities would lead to the destruction of Ukraine. This is according to his Facebook post.
Bielieskov believes that proponents of a quick conflict freeze are essentially proposing a long and drawn-out process of destroying Ukraine. He thinks that without proper security guarantees, Russia will try to stop people, money, and technology from flowing into Ukraine, with the goal of turning the country into a failed state.
