Ukraine 's ex-Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says Russia is not going to ask for peace in peace talks.

He says the next generation of Ukrainian politicians will be focused entirely on the recovery of Ukraine after the war.

He warns that Russia 's potential for revanchism toward Russia from a long-term perspective should not be underestimated.

Dmytro Kuleba: Sanctions, political isolation, support of providing Ukraine with weapons and financial assistance, deliver a message to Russia that it’s not going to get what it's looking for.

"Sanctions don't work" is a Russian narrative, he says, but they serve their function on two conditions: first when you keep introducing new sanctions, stepping up pressure on the sanctioned country.

Dmytro Kuleba : Only way to prevent Ukraine from waging war on Russia will be to have it in NATO .

If Ukraine comes out of this fight as a winning power and joins NATO , the combined military force will be invincible, he says.

The idea of recovering these territories should be part of our national identity and national idea.
