“If you look at the situation in Ukraine, it is clear that Russia cannot be defeated in the war. I think this is already clear to everyone. I'm talking about facts, and not about biases, rooting for one side or the other. Since this is the case, a solution must be found. But no one knows how to find a solution. [Russian President Vladimir] Putin doesn't know how, the Americans don't know how," Vucic said.
The sides of the conflict are trying to find a way how to stop it, according to the Serbian president.
“But now this is impossible, because stakes have been raised to such a level that the slightest concession will look like a betrayal and surrender of national interests, whether we are talking about Ukrainians or Russians. And this leads me to the conclusion that this problem will be long-term in nature, because no one can come up with a proposal that would be even remotely acceptable," Vucic said.
