Some developments related to the Russia-Ukraine war:
Permanent Conflict for Ukraine
Mr. Mark Galeotti, a senior expert at the British Ministry of Defence's Defence and Security Institute (RUSI), said that in the West, they believe that Ukraine's refusal to recognize part of its territory to Russia could turn a special military campaign into a permanent conflict.
“ Ukraine's borders have changed frequently over time, the current fight is to ensure that Ukraine's future borders move as little as possible ,” said Mr. Galeotti.
According to Mr. Galeotti, even Ukraine's closest allies now have significant skepticism about Kiev's ability to regain all of its territory.
“ The West has never properly thought about what a Ukrainian victory would mean ,” the political scientist explains.
UK releases surprising forecast on Ukraine conflict
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy believes that the military conflict in Ukraine will continue into 2026 and beyond.
“ Speaking at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Mr Lammy said the difficulties and challenges of the war in Ukraine would become even deeper and more severe, especially in late 2025, into 2026 and beyond ,” the Guardian said.

The Guardian notes that Western politicians continue to consider various ways to increase support for the Ukrainian military, including the possibility of lifting restrictions on attacks deep into Russian territory.
“ Foreign Minister Lammy stressed that Ukraine and its Western allies are actively discussing what else might be needed to help Kiev on the battlefield, beyond trying to hold the front line under intense pressure in the east, ” the Guardian wrote.
Russia sets conditions for resolving conflict in Ukraine
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that there can be no just and lasting solution to the conflict in Ukraine without taking into account the country's interests.
“ A just and lasting solution cannot be achieved without Russia’s participation and without taking into account Russia’s interests. But Kiev and the West are not interested in peace. They need war ,” said Ms. Zakharova.
“ The incursion of the Ukrainian army into Kursk and President Zelensky’s proposal to strike deep into Russian territory with NATO long-range weapons are proof of this. This is a continuation of terrorism against the people of our country. We will not negotiate with terrorists ,” the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed.
Russia raids many Ukrainian troop deployment areas
