In a discussion hosted by Daria Chibner with expert Marcin Łuniewski, the challenges posed by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine are explored. Łuniewski, an author who focuses on Russia's socio-political changes, argues against the naive belief that the conflict will resolve within the next few months. He posits that the expectation for a rapid end to the war overlooks the entrenched nature of the conflict and the stability of the current Russian regime under Vladimir Putin.

Furthermore, Łuniewski challenges the pervasive narrative surrounding the potential collapse of Russia. He describes such thoughts as wishful thinking, asserting that predictions of a swift Russian disintegration have proven to be inaccurate. He raises critical points regarding the separatist movements in regions like Yakutia, suggesting they are often influenced by Ukrainian propaganda. Łuniewski warns that the end of Russia as a state could lead to significant geopolitical chaos, including mass emigration of Russians and potential risks associated with the unregulated spread of conventional and nuclear weapons.

The conversation starkly outlines that while there may be a longing for peace, the realities on the ground suggest that any change in the status quo involving Russia could lead to greater instability rather than a peaceful resolution to the conflict. This discussion mirrors the broader apprehensions regarding regional security and the implications of Russia's actions on global politics.
