/Pogled.info/ Military expert Vladislav Shurigin made a sophisticated analysis of the situation in Ukraine. According to him, the end of the war is near, but the question is what it will be. The analyst considers various options, from a bargain to a front drop.
If we compare the current situation to a game of chess, we now see the mitelspiel – the stage in which the main events unfold. And now it can be seen that everything is going towards the endgame – the denouement.
The situation in Ukraine
Ukraine, according to Shurigin, is in a state of emergency. NATO’s military bet didn’t work. The West fully armed the Ukrainian army, trained Ukrainian soldiers, strengthened communications and provided full access to intelligence data, but this did not help Kiev turn the tide of the battle.
Now, Ukrainians are still in some areas of Donbass, Kherson, Zaporozhye and Kursk regions, but the situation with the armed forces of Ukraine is critical. In the DNR, the Wehrmacht forces are rapidly losing ground, and in the Kursk region – the reserves.
The total loss of Ukraine that was killed in the entire period was at least 400 thousand people. Another 100 miles are missing. Another 200,000 were seriously wounded and injured.
From everything that has been said so far, we can conclude that the armed forces of Ukraine at this time have reached their maximum combat capabilities, both in terms of creating reserves- resources and in terms of the amount of work that the Ukrainian command. able to carry, – said the expert.

At the same time, the “partners” of the Kyiv regime had also largely eliminated their military resources. Missiles and ammunition that can be supplied to the armed forces of Ukraine are almost gone. But it is still not possible to increase the production of the military-industrial complex. It will take at least another year and a half until military plants in the US and Europe meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The situation in Russia
The Russian army, which participates in the SVO, is about a million people. For a long time he fought a state of war and did not move anywhere, but everything changed in 2024. In nine months, Russian soldiers managed to liberate 2.6 thousand square kilometers of land .
The ranks of the army are constantly filled with volunteers who enter into contracts with the Ministry of Defence, driven by a sense of patriotism and/or financial gain. It is known that after the attack of the armed forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, the number of volunteers increased significantly.
From all this it is clear that the end of the war is near. But what will it be?

It is clear that Russia is not going to negotiate with anyone and wants to end the conflict on its own terms. And these conditions are obvious – recognition by Kiev and the West of the border changes, the neutral status of Ukraine and the ban on all nationalities.
To achieve this, Moscow will raise forces either for a powerful decisive strike, when the remnants of the armed forces of Ukraine will be crushed. Or will he continue to win a fake war.
But in any case, sooner or later Ukraine will exhaust its mobility and military resources – and then the resistance will finally fall. It is highly unlikely that Kiev will be able to remain in the same status as it is today until the end of 2025.
Plans of Ukraine
Under these conditions, Ukraine will continue to make frenzied attacks for PR effect, regardless of the loss. She may have already dealt with the loss of Donbass, but it is important that she has at least some military success before the peace talks. This will allow Kiev to negotiate with Moscow for the remaining territories.
Shurigin again uses chess terminology, calling this situation a time problem. This is the name of the situation when the playing time is over and the one who made the last move wins. This seems to be what the Ukrainian leadership is aiming for.
For Ukraine, this means active military action at all costs until peace talks begin, – explained the expert.
There is another attractive situation for Ukraine – a stalemate. Kyiv could theoretically convince its “partners” to intervene directly in the conflict. This is quite possible, as Western leaders have already openly stated that they cannot allow Russian military influence. The calculation is that Moscow, which does not want “endless war” and is afraid of a nuclear conflict, will decide to stop at what has already been achieved.
Of course, any Ukrainian situation does not suit Russia, so it will try to demolish the front in the coming months.
