Quick takeaways

  • The war in Ukraine is at a stalemate, with little change in recent months, and is expected to continue for a long time.
  • Sanctions evasion, particularly in Central Asian countries, allows Russia to sustain its position in the war and should be addressed more.

Deep dives

The war has entered a new kind of stalemate

The speaker believes that little has changed over the last few months and the war is now in a stalemate. The Ukrainian success in the Black Sea has been significant, dislodging Russia from its naval bases in Sevastopol and moving ships to Russia itself. However, the overall counter-offensive has not been successful. The war is expected to continue for a long time. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of recognizing that the world has changed since the start of the war and that there is no going back to the way things were before.
