Ukraine-Russia War: Prolonged conflict or 2025 Resolution?

Question: Is there a possibility that a war between Ukraine and Russia could continue for years? Or is there still a chance that an agreement might be reached in 2025 and martial law in Ukraine ended?

Well, unfortunately, I will have to give you a nonspecific answer, because it depends on the free will choices of a critical mass of the Ukrainian people.

As we have just said, the war has fundamentally changed Ukraine. There is no going back to the way it was before. If a critical mass of Ukrainians can begin to accept that Ukraine needs to change, then this will shift the equation and make it more likely that the war will not go on. However, you also need to recognize here that, of course, Russia is a big factor. Europe is a big factor. The United States is a big factor. There are so many variables here. If you look at the situation realistically right now, as it is right now, the most likely scenario for ending the war is an impending economic collapse in Russia. Where a critical mass of leaders in Russia, probably not Putin, but other leaders, see that if the war continues much longer, the Russian economy will collapse, simply collapse. And in order to avoid this, they have to stop the war. This can motivate them to try and get some kind of a ceasefire deal that makes it seem like it was not a complete mistake to start the war. They got something out of it. This is a possibility. 

There are, of course, people who can see that the Russian economy is headed for a crash. It is possible that this could happen. But it is also possible that there will be such a resistance, both from Putin and other leaders, to stopping the war that they will allow it to go on until the economy actually collapses. And this could lead to very severe consequences in Russia, even the breakup of the Russian Federation. Another variable is, of course, that Putin could go out of embodiment. And that would fundamentally change the equation so that there would probably be some leaders in Russia that would step forward and look for a way to end the war without destroying Russia or losing too much face. Another variable is, of course Trump, who has promised to end the war in 24 hours after he is inaugurated. What will he do to fulfill that promise? And what will that look like? 

Right now, the situation is so fluid, which you can look at as a bad thing, or you can look at it as a good thing. Because the fluidity makes it more likely that something will change compared to what you have now where you have this war of attrition that has put Ukraine on the defensive because Russia is so much bigger, but of course has also caused the Russian economy to be stretched so thin that a collapse could very easily happen in 2025.
