The war in Ukraine has currently reached a stage where neither side can gain a decisive advantage in the near future.
Modern.az reports that the war will continue as long as Vladimir Putin remains in power and there are sufficient funds in the Russian budget for armaments. According to analysts, Russia is struggling to compensate for the manpower lost on the front: most of the newly mobilized are drawn into battle by material interest, not ideological motivation, and the ideological factor has practically disappeared in the occupying army.
At the same time, the main burden of repelling Russian aggression falls on Ukrainian soldiers who are severely exhausted emotionally and physically. In the current situation, Ukraine is neither losing nor winning.
The article emphasizes that the only scenario that could lead to a real cessation of hostilities is the complete collapse of the current political regime in Russia. (The Times)
