Experts named 5 scenarios for the continuation of Ukraine's war with Russia in 2023-Air Force

Experts are convinced that Ukraine will be able to win in the war with Russia, but the terms depend on how quickly NATO will give it offensive weapons. The duration of the war with Ukraine approaches the mark in one year. BBC journalists have compared the versions of how fighting will develop from various experts. Thus, Michael Clark, Deputy Director of the UK Strategic Studies Institute, is convinced that in 2023 the fate of the spring offensive of Russia will be a key factor.

According to the expert, the land continuation does not have any scenarios until the army of mobilized Russians, who are now being prepared for the offensive, is defeated. "Putin made it clear that he would not stop. And Ukraine made it clear that he would fight for her life," Clark said. Washington's military analyst Andrey Piontkovsky is convinced that Ukraine has a chance to restore its territorial integrity in 2023.

However, both the determination of Ukrainians and the desire of the West to supply Ukraine with weapons and the Russian Federation should work on this. "The exact terms of the inevitable Ukrainian victory will be determined by the speed at which NATO will be able to deliver a new revolutionary package of combat assault," the expert said. The analyst of the Department of Military Studies of the Royal College of Lndon Barbara Zanchett believes that the prospects for negotiations are gloomy.

For a potential peace agreement, it is necessary to change the basic requirements of at least one party. She is convinced that the key to the end of the war can be inside Russia, since the price of the so -called "victory" for Russian elites is too high. "Unfortunately, it will still be a protracted political, economic and military battle of determination. And by the end of 2023, it will most likely continue," the analyst said.

Former US Army Commander in Europe Ben Hodges believes that the entire momentum is now on the side of Ukraine. She will be able to win the war in 2023. "Until January, Ukraine can start the final phase of the Crimean liberation campaign," Hodges said. According to him, by the end of the year, Ukraine will completely free Crimea. Tel Aviv military expert David Hendelman believes that you need to focus on what each side of the war wants.

According to him, the Russian Federation wants to fully occupy the Donetsk region. It will do it at the expense of the mobilized. Handelman believes that Ukraine will try to conquer Melitopol to cut the Land Corridor of the Russian Federation before the Crimea occupied in 2014. "Another option for Ukraine - Svatovo - success there would threaten the entire northern flank of the entire Russian front line," the expert said.
