The head of the British Foreign Office, David Lammy, shared a forecast about the possible end of the war in Ukraine, suggesting that it could happen by Easter 2025.
"Based on the latest data we have, the timetable for a potential deal has shifted slightly and we are now targeting Easter," Lammy said.
Easter in 2025 falls on April 20, and this time could be a turning point in the long-term confrontation. Lemmy emphasized that the war was initially predicted to end by the end of January, but now it is unlikely.
This optimistic forecast causes a mixed reaction among experts and politicians. Some believe that Lemmy's statement could be a signal of significant progress in negotiations or a change in the tactical situation. Others emphasize that it is impossible to predict the exact date of the end of the war, given the complexity of the conflict and the unpredictability of the aggressor's actions.
Britain, as before, remains one of Ukraine's key allies in the fight against Russian aggression. London actively supports Kyiv both militarily and diplomatically.
Whether Lemmy's prediction comes true depends on many factors, including the military situation at the front, the efforts of the international community, and Russia's readiness for real negotiations.
Statements by Western politicians recently often contain cautious optimism, but Ukraine insists that any peace agreement is possible only on terms that guarantee the restoration of its territorial integrity. In the conditions of the continuation of hostilities, forecasts regarding the end of the war remain the subject of active discussions.
