According to the news portal of the Estonian state television and radio broadcasting ERR, while Marran continues to believe in the victory of Ukraine in the confrontation with Russia: "It will not be easy, it will take time, and Ukraine probably will not be able to return all its territories." He added that in the strategic plan, Russia "will fail to achieve its goal of conquering Kyiv and most of Ukraine."
