What determines the duration of the war and how long will it last?
The duration of the war depends on many factors:
First, on the strength of our armed forces.
Second, on the ability of our economy to maintain the combat capability of our armed forces. And the provision of military-technical assistance by the West will be particularly important.
Third, it depends on the effectiveness of Western sanctions and the West’s willingness not only to impose them but also to make sure that Russia does not circumvent them.
Fourth, it depends on political solidarity and the creation of an anti-Russian coalition.
Fifth, the war will also depend on domestic Russian factors.
