In political circles, assessments are increasingly being made that the war in Ukraine could last another one or two years. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing MPs and sources in parliament.
According to the publication, if a few months ago there was an atmosphere among politicians of a possible truce and preparations for political processes - in particular, a potential referendum and elections - now these expectations have changed significantly. The negotiations have reached a dead end, and the aggravation of the geopolitical situation, particularly in the Middle East, has affected the general forecast.
In such conditions, the interlocutors note, the country will have to live in martial law for a long time. At the same time, the parliament is forced to adapt to long-term work in these conditions, because it is impossible to change the composition of the Verkhovna Rada during the war.
Similar assessments have previously been made by other media sources, who suggested that the war could drag on for up to two years. According to them, such a scenario is also being considered at the international level.
Signs of preparation for a protracted period of war, according to economists, are already visible in the government's actions. These include budget policy, spending planning, and a focus on long-term economic sustainability.
Experts emphasize that although the exact timing of the end of the war remains uncertain, the state is gradually transitioning to a model of functioning designed for prolonged confrontation.
