Question: Despite the fact that the war in Ukraine is going on for a long time and people feel very tired of it, there are no prospects for the end of the conflict. Instead, there is an involvement of more countries in it. In this regard, could the ascended masters clarify some points? What is the most realistic scenario for the further development of this conflict? Can the war drag on for a year or two more?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 Kazakhstan Conference.
Well, initially, we hoped that the war would not drag on, and there were some prospects that this could have happened, but they have not come to pass, mainly because there has not been a critical mass in the Russian population who have really changed their approach, not only to the war but to the government, to the country, and the development of the country.
Unfortunately, the more realistic scenario is that it will drag on at least into the next year, and perhaps in some form longer, like you saw with after the takeover of Crimea and the situation in the eastern part of Ukraine, there was essentially a state of war for several years, even though it was not the kind of warfare you have now.
Now, it is clear that the Ukrainians are very determined, and it is a realistic scenario that they will make progress and drive the Russian forces back. It is possible there can be some kind of collapse of the Russian armed forces, but it is not something that will happen in the very short term.
One realistic scenario is that the Russian armed forces can break down, the Russian economy can start to break down, it already has started, but it can become more and more obvious. And therefore, it can come to a point where somebody in Russia realizes that Putin is now more of a hindrance than a help for the future of Russia, and therefore, they decide to get rid of him in some way. Another possible scenario is that Putin manages to hang on to power regardless of how badly things go, and that there comes a point where there is a sort of stalemate because no side can really make any progress. And that is, of course, the least desirable scenario, even for Russia, because this will only increase the burden on the Russian people in terms of Russian soldiers, but also on the economy.
