Russia-Ukraine War Could "Grind On for Another 12 to 18 Months," Experts Warn
Experts predict the Russia-Ukraine war could last another 12 to 18 months. The conflict is shifting to a war of attrition, with tactics like "creating fear" becoming more prominent.
The war in Ukraine is nowhere near its end. A new analysis suggests the conflict could "grind on for another 12 to 18 months," signaling a grueling new phase of attrition with no clear victor in sight.
A Forecast for a Long War
According to one military analysis, the Russia-Ukraine war may well continue for another 12 to 18 months. With front lines largely static and neither side able to achieve a decisive breakthrough, the conflict appears to be shifting from a war of maneuver to a protracted war of attrition. This long-term struggle will test not only the military and economic resources of both nations but also the resolve of their international partners.
A Strategy to "Create Fear"
As the war drags on, tactics are evolving. Ukraine's recent killing of a high-ranking Russian General is seen by some as part of a strategy "to create fear." This approach goes beyond simple battlefield gains, aiming to demoralize Russia's command structure and create psychological disruption. In a war of attrition, such psychological operations can be a potent tool for undermining an opponent's will to fight.
