Ukrainian political philosopher Andriy Yermolayev, speaking with Vadim Gerasimovich on UKRLIFE.TV, analyzes the current stage of the war, prospects for negotiations, systemic attacks on infrastructure, and the challenges facing Ukrainian society on the threshold of a difficult winter.

In this episode: • Are expectations of a quick peace realistic, and why are the parties avoiding compromise? • "War of the cities" and systemic attacks on the home front: the threat of infrastructural collapse. • Negotiations between Trump, China, and key geopolitical players: is there room for Ukrainian agency? • Klitschko's statements about survival mode in Kyiv and the social consequences of large-scale evacuations. • Growing alienation between society and the state: the limits of the home front.
