A recent analysis by the Institute for the Study of War indicates that Russia would require approximately 60 years to conquer the remaining parts of the Donetsk region at its current pace. Despite claims of inevitable victory, the reality shows significant losses and failed offensives. The analysis reveals that Russia has made negligible territorial gains in 2026, suffering over 40,000 military casualties monthly. Ukrainian counteroffensives have regained substantial territory, complicating Moscow's objectives. The slow advance of Russian forces is attributed to enhanced Ukrainian technology and difficulties in recruitment. Experts suggest that Russia may escalate attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure to compensate for its front-line failures, but strategic bombings are unlikely to force Ukraine's capitulation.
