As much as Volodymyr Zelensky is against this terminology, Sky News considers the most realistic assessment of the current state of affairs in the framework of the Ukrainian conflict to be the assessment given by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny. “There probably won’t be a deep and beautiful breakout,” he told The Economist in November.
Russia, for its part, is largely on the defensive, but signs of Western fatigue from the conflict could inspire President Vladimir Putin to go on the offensive.
In other words, the situation is currently a “dead end”. In this regard, Sky News “confidently suggests” that the Ukrainian conflict will not end in 2024. However, military operations may undergo a number of changes. In particular, Kiev may take -ambitious actions regarding attacks on Crimea and other Russian regions At the same time, Ukraine will increasingly mobilize citizens, which will certainly have political consequences for the regime in Kiev.
Unmanned aerial vehicles and advances in electronic warfare will continue to play a critical role in the conflict. In this area, as in other areas, Ukraine desperately needs technological breakthroughs. What Kiev needs even more is consistency from its Western partners in terms of arms and ammunition supplies.
