Without a breakthrough in the negotiations, Russia's war against Ukraine could last up to two more years, according to Bloomberg
Russia's war against Ukraine could drag on for at least another year or two due to the lack of a breakthrough both on the front lines and in diplomatic negotiations.
This is reported by Bloomberg.
According to the publication, hopes for a quick political resolution of the conflict are fading. One reason is the escalation of the situation surrounding Iran, which has diverted U.S. President Donald Trump’s attention away from Ukraine.
Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, mediated by the U.S., have effectively reached an impasse, and there are currently no signs of their swift resumption.
Sources in the Kremlin claim that the Russian army is preparing for a new offensive campaign.
“Without a breakthrough in the negotiations, the war could drag on for another year or two,” noted one of the publication’s sources.
Another source added that progress may remain minimal, as Russian troops are unable to overcome Ukraine’s strong defenses, particularly due to the use of drones.
Currently, peace talks involving Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia are effectively on hold.
Several rounds of trilateral meetings took place in January and February, but they did not yield concrete results. The next meeting, scheduled for early March in Abu Dhabi, was postponed indefinitely due to the escalation of the situation in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, on March 21–22, bilateral talks between the Ukrainian and American delegations took place in Miami without Russia’s participation.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attributed the lack of a date for the next trilateral talks to security restrictions imposed by the U.S. side and Russia’s unwillingness to meet in Washington.
