Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has once again appealed to the Republicans in the US Congress to release the billions in aid they have blocked for Kiev. He emphasized that without this aid, Ukraine may lose the war. The question of who will win the war in Ukraine is complex, with Russian expert Mark Galeotti predicting a stalemate where neither side can achieve a decisive victory. While Ukraine is strengthening its forces for a potential counteroffensive next year, Putin may shift his focus to attacking other NATO countries.
Putin’s strategy against the West aims to neutralize and paralyze Western countries, preventing sustained support for Ukraine. Putin’s regime in Russia is described as strong but fragile, with potential crises posing a threat to its stability. With uncertainties surrounding his health, Putin aims to stay in power as long as possible. However, the future of Putinism remains uncertain, with the regime entering a phase where democratic principles are no longer upheld. As crises continue to arise, the regime’s stability may be further tested. It is suggested that Putin’s regime may face collapse in the coming years.
Overall, the conflict in Ukraine remains uncertain, with no clear path to resolution in sight. The complexities of the situation combined with broader geopolitical implications make it difficult to determine who will emerge victorious from this ongoing war.
