"By the end of 2025, one truth is becoming impossible to hide: that Russia is
not winning the war in Ukraine.
Neither has Ukraine collapsed, nor has it surrendered. Though neither Europe
nor the US has intervened militarily, they have backed Ukraine for the last
four years, which is not a small thing. They have at least shown support in the
war since it started.
As a result, Russia is stuck in a long, brutal war that eats away at its
soldiers, money, and credibility.
But this does not mean the danger is decreasing. History shows that when
authoritarian leaders face failure, they often become more dangerous, not less.
The real question today is no longer whether Russia can conquer Ukraine. It
cannot — at least not anytime soon.
The real question is:
What will Vladimir Putin do next to avoid admitting defeat?"
