Analysts fear that Ukraine could lose an advantage over the Donbas, leaving it vulnerable to a full Russian takeover.
International researchers believe that the war in Ukraine could be a frozen conflict in the Russian Federation that will last more than a decade. This was reported by CNBC.
Analysts believe that the Russian takeover of Severodonetsk looks more and more likely. In the case of conquest of the city, including Lisichansk, the conquerors would receive full control over the Lugansk region. If the Russians are successful in this area, they are likely to turn their attention to the Donetsk region, almost half of which is already occupied.
William Alberke, director of strategy, technology and weapons control at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, believes there is a possibility that Russia’s line of defense will fall somewhere. Then the occupiers had to draw troops from the Severodonetsk Front and send them north, to Kharkov or Kherson.
Alberke expressed fear that if Ukraine fails to destroy part of Russia’s line, which will begin to repel their army, it will force the aggressor country to further reduce its territorial ambitions. A “semi-permanent frozen conflict that lasts decades or more” may emerge.
Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has escalated into a “war of attrition”, and no one can predict with certainty when and how it will end. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
