2026 will be the period when the war will continue.
At the same time, two parallel processes will continue: negotiations will continue, but the war will still continue. Unfortunately, this is so, because there are almost no prerequisites for a quick end to the war.
Everyone has their own reasons. It will be very difficult for Zelensky to accept even Trump’s conditions, to present them to society as a victory. Putin believes that he will achieve much more through military action than through political means. Under such conditions, and taking into account the fact that Ukraine received support from European countries in the amount of 90 billion, I think that the next six months are unlikely to end hostilities. Unfortunately, we will continue to lose territories, and we will continue to lose people, and we will continue to lose the remnants of the economy. Maybe something will change in the second half of 2026,” the expert says.
Each side has its reasons. For example, it is important for Europe that Ukraine buys time until the EU can rearm and modernize its own military equipment. Trump, if it is not possible to reach a compromise, may lose interest in these negotiations altogether and switch to other issues such as the conflict with Venezuela or something else. By-elections to Congress and the Senate will also be held in the fall, where Trump risks losing the Republican majority. If this happens in at least one ward, he will turn into a lame duck. Perhaps this is what the leaders of European countries are counting on: that after that it will be possible to push Trump into Biden’s agenda.
But we must not forget that all this will happen at the expense of Ukraine, unfortunately.
