Russia-Ukraine war attrition and geopolitical shifts

Overview

The conflict in Ukraine has transitioned into a protracted war of attrition. Geopolitical dynamics are shifting as the United States signals a reduction in military engagement in Europe following the re-election of Donald Trump, leading European NATO members to increase their involvement. The Kremlin has also employed hybrid warfare tactics, including attempts to disrupt European supply chains and targeting infrastructure in Italy and Germany.

On the battlefield, Ukraine has utilized domestic drone and missile technology, though major operations—such as the 2023 summer offensive and the 2024 incursion into Russia’s Kursk region—have often resulted in limited territorial gains or withdrawals rather than breaking the military stalemate.

Despite increasing Russian aerial capabilities and a lack of confidence in victory among some European populations, Ukrainian public sentiment remains resilient, with approximately 60 percent of Ukrainians maintaining belief in victory.
