The Endgame in Ukraine: What Could the Future Hold?
Experts in the discussion pondered the possible trajectories for Ukraine amid ongoing diplomatic uncertainties. A key question is whether the U.S. would stand firm in supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity or settle for a compromise accepting Russian gains, particularly the roughly 20% of Ukrainian territory already occupied.
One analyst suggests that if a clear endgame—either total withdrawal or full victory—is defined soon, the conflict could resolve within a year. Conversely, the absence of strategic clarity might lead to protracted trench warfare, reminiscent of historical stalemates.
