The Outlook for Ukraine-Russia Conflict: Gap Year or Build-up for 2025?

Next year may be more of a stalemate in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While Ukraine is at a disadvantage in a traditional fight, they may focus on strike campaigns and attempting to regain control over Crimea and the northwest part of the Black Sea. On a positive note, this can be seen as an opportunity for Ukraine to rebuild and address training and logistical issues. With assistance, they can reconstitute their brigades and improve unit cohesion.
