Director of Defense Express, Serhiy Zgurets, does not rule out that the war could drag on for 2 or 3 years, because the Russian Federation will have enough resources for such long-term hostilities. On the teleconference, he noted that this is precisely why the Russian Federation wants to freeze the conflict.
At the same time, Zgurets believes that the next year will be decisive in the war.
"Ukraine's potential to continue offensive operations depends on the regularity and reliability of military aid from our partners. Since this aid affects the accumulation of Ukrainian reserves. We are now in a state where Ukraine and the enemy are accumulating forces for further military operations," Zgurets said.
He noted that there is a connection between the successes of Ukraine and military aid from NATO.
"I do not exclude the fact that hostilities can last at least 2-3 years. After all, Russia still has considerable resources in military equipment. Therefore, Russia can drag out hostilities at a lower rate of effectiveness. However, such a scenario of the development of events is not the only one," Zgurets notes - In my opinion, the next year will be quite important in this war. And for us, the success of offensive actions in 2023 will depend on the help of allies."
