The cessation of the active phase in Donbas does not mean the end of the war. In this case, it will be a "long history".

Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the Head of the President's Office, said this in conversation with Mark Feygin, Ukrinform reports.

The new weapons received by Ukraine are used but they are not enough to fundamentally change the rules of the game, Arestovych noted.

It takes three weeks or more for the weapons to arrive and take effect: "It will be late May or early June when the required quantity arrives and starts to produce a serious impact on the battlefield."

"We need to tune in to a long history. The cessation of the active phase in Donbas does not mean the end of the war. There will still be tactical actions, air raids, war ... It's a long story, and it may be very long, it may last until the New Year. Everything depends on a series of circumstances," he said.
