War in Ukraine until 2025: Why promises of a quick peace are an illusion

War in Ukraine: Predictions for 2025

According to ХВИЛЯ: The war in Ukraine will continue according to the scenario of 2025, with promises of a quick resolution of the conflict proving to be an illusion. In this context, it is important to note that former US President Donald Trump has attempted three times to compel Ukraine to accept Moscow's demands under the guise of a ceasefire agreement in 2025. According to information, the Russian '28-point plan' was proposed in November 2025, indicating Russia's intentions to achieve its goals diplomatically.

Strategic Challenges

Additionally, the new US national security strategy may focus solely on the defense of the Western Hemisphere, which could impact the further development of the conflict. Finnish President Alexander Stubb warned of a possible painful scenario for ending the war, pointing out that peace is often a compromise. He noted that Ukrainians may have to come to terms with an agreement that does not meet their sense of justice.

“Peace is often a compromise.” - Alexander Stubb

Statements from Trump and Zelensky about 90% readiness for a peace agreement pertain only to arrangements between Ukraine and the USA, indicating that the real terms of peace may prove to be much more complicated than they initially appeared. This situation underscores that optimistic promises of a quick end to the war may be far from reality, and Ukrainians should be prepared for a prolonged negotiation process.

This development indicates that international politics and geopolitical interests can significantly influence the course of the conflict in Ukraine. It remains unclear how the position of the USA and other Western countries will change in light of new challenges arising from shifts in security strategies. The duration of the war and possible compromises may have serious consequences for Ukrainian society, making it important for the public to be informed about the realities they may face in the future.
