Ukraine's Long War: Facing the Challenges of Russia's Elastic Defense

Ukrainian veterans are warning that the war with Russia could last for years and that the country needs to face the reality of a long-term conflict. While public morale remains high and support for the military is strong, some veterans express concern that a rose-tinted view of the war and a sense of impatience among the public could undermine Ukraine's long-term resilience. They emphasize the need for preparedness and realistic expectations, urging Ukrainians to steel themselves for a potentially worsening situation on the front lines.
