  • Serhii Beskrestnov, an adviser to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Russia and Ukraine face an escalating long-range strike war in which neither side can fully prevail.
  • He warned that the frontline deadlock and deep strikes are increasing risks to civilians and infrastructure.
  • Beskrestnov said he was concerned about Kyiv this winter and suggested evacuating older people if Russian attacks disrupt the capital’s energy supply.

“Nobody will win” is the warning from Serhii Beskrestnov, a defence technology adviser to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as Russia and Ukraine remain locked in an intensifying war of long-range strikes.

Beskrestnov, widely known by his call sign, Flash, said the deadlock along the frontline was being accompanied by a growing use of deep strikes. In his view, the escalation is placing civilians and critical infrastructure at greater risk while leaving neither side able to achieve a complete victory.

He said he was worried about Kyiv’s prospects over the winter. Russian bombing that knocked out the capital’s energy supply could create especially serious problems, he said, and he suggested that elderly people should be evacuated in such a scenario.

His warning focuses on the widening consequences of a war that is increasingly being fought beyond the frontline. The combination of stalled ground operations and attacks reaching deeper into each country is raising the danger for civilians as winter approaches.

Nobody will win.
