The war in Ukraine has “reached a stalemate” and will continue “for a very long time.”

This prediction was made by the Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces, Micael Bydén, as reported by RND.

“There are only small advances, the front line shifts back and forth – overall, the situation is very difficult. The war reached a stalemate several months ago, and at the moment, there are no signs of changes. There is no end in sight to the war, and neither Russia nor Ukraine has the sufficient capabilities to win it militarily. I expect the war to continue for a very long time. We have already taken this into account in our strategic security plans and military assistance to Ukraine,” Bydén stated.

He also mentioned that the Russians still have more military potential and forces, “which further exacerbates the situation on the ground.”

“Putin has geared the Russian economy towards war in a way that we cannot. Currently, the Russians are producing a huge amount of armaments, much more than we can supply to Ukraine,” Bydén said.
