Ukraine is winning — for now at least | Hal Brands

Ukraine is currently faring better on the battlefield, while Russia is experiencing surging costs and shrinking military gains. According to Hal Brands, if Ukraine can sustain this specific trajectory, it may eventually be able to force Moscow to agree to a decent peace. The current situation indicates a positive shift in momentum for Ukraine, although the long-term outcome depends on their ability to maintain these gains against the Russian military's increasing operational expenses.
