Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reached a strategic stalemate, leaving the front line largely frozen. While Ukraine leverages drone warfare to create a 20-kilometer lethal belt that suppresses Russian maneuver, it faces severe manpower, energy, and interceptor shortages. Contradictory assessments exist on whether mounting Russian costs amount to a losing path or merely a failure to win.

It correctly avoids declaring a winner, emphasizing that Russia’s inability to meet its Donbas objectives does not guarantee its defeat.
