The war may drag on until 2029

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told his advisers in early May that negotiations with Russia had intensified and failed. According to Wall Street Journal journalist Boyan Pancevski, he ordered the development of a military action plan until 2029. 'Everyone was in shock,' Pancevski added. He said Kyiv was considering the threat of halting the country's military activity. Experts note that the statement raised concerns that the conflict could last for many more years. According to him, Europe does not plan to enter into a peace agreement and will continue supporting Ukraine in the military conflict.

Context

The war in Ukraine began in 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea and escalated with the start of the full-scale military conflict in 2022.
