Former Russian State Duma deputy Mark Feigin suggests that the end of the war in Ukraine will likely come through political exhaustion in Moscow rather than military defeat.
During the 14th Free Russia Forum in Vilnius, former Russian State Duma deputy Mark Feigin expressed that the ongoing war in Ukraine is in a phase where its conclusion is expected more from a political perspective than a military one. He highlighted that historically, nations often collapse under their own weight, suggesting that the magnitude of Russia's current situation could ultimately lead to its defeat, rather than through direct military confrontation.
Feigin pointed out that the political exhaustion within Russia has significantly undermined its capabilities, contrasting this with Ukraine, which has managed to maintain its political resolve and direction despite facing severe challenges. He emphasized that unlike Russia, Ukraine has withstood the pressures of its predicament, which has allowed it to maintain its statehood and continue resisting the invasion effectively.
Supporting Feigin's insights, Olehas Dunda, a member of Ukraine's Parliament, forecasts a potential resurgence of unrest in Russia, reminiscent of past uprisings. He alludes to the significant political shifts seen in June 2023, hinting that discontent within Russia's populace may lead to new calls for change, demonstrating both the ongoing turmoil in Russia and the implications this has for the war in Ukraine.
