It is on its way to four and a half years in duration and, today, There is no sign that the armed conflict will end soon.: There are no negotiations and no major progress is being made by either side on the battlefield.
However, according to Juha Kukkola, lieutenant colonel of the Finnish Defense Forces and adjunct military professor at the Finnish National Defense College, what has changed In recent weeks they are decisions who is adopting the in the front.
In an interview in the Finnish media the expert has expressed that, taking into account the current appearance of the battlefield, The Russian military command already has “its eyes set on the future”That is, in what could happen in the medium and long term once the war in Ukraine comes to an end.
Juha Kukkola has stated that “the offensive war is limited to a very small area if the entire front is taken into account; the material is no longer brought to the front, but is stored in other places, and “Active offensive warfare is not, at the moment, the priority of the Russian military command.”
In this sense, the lieutenant colonel of the Finnish Defense Forces has indicated that the attention of Russian military leaders is focusing, in part, on rebuilding the Russian Armed Forces. The goal would be to prepare for the post-Ukraine war period or for a situation in which the conditions of the current armed conflict would change significantly.
Furthermore, the adjunct military professor at the Finnish National Defense College has indicated that it is also likely that Russia continues to trust that time and the war of attrition work in its favor against the Ukrainian forces.
