The war in Ukraine has reached its 1,000th day, with Sky News providing an analysis of the current situation on both sides and potential future outcomes. The conflict, initiated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago, continues to result in casualties and territorial gains. Russia’s main goal was to control Ukraine and align it with Moscow, which they have partially achieved by taking over eastern Ukraine. However, Ukraine has successfully defended itself and maintained its independence and Western orientation. The use of weaponry, including missiles and drones, has been significant on both sides, with Ukraine receiving authorization from the US to use long-range rockets against Russia. The future of the conflict remains uncertain, with experts predicting a messy end and the potential for a ceasefire and partition agreement to ensure Ukraine’s survival. However, challenges remain, including Russia’s ability to regroup and reattack in the absence of firm security guarantees. The experts also believe that Ukraine may not achieve quick accession into NATO due to Putin’s conditions for a ceasefire. Despite the current stalemated situation, the possibility of a ceasefire and diplomatic resolution remains on the horizon.
