Ongoing Conflict and Its Effects
The war between Russia and Ukraine enters 2025. The Russians are upping the intensity of attacks as the Ukrainians win territory in other parts of the country. The parties have announced a preliminary agreement on regular prisoner exchanges, especially focusing on prisoners seriously ill or wounded. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a strong military presence and security guarantees from Western allies if he is to achieve a "just peace" in Ukraine. Experts warn the conflict could go either into a stalemate or see new breakthroughs in eastern Ukraine. The war is also causing instability in the Middle East, with rising grain and energy prices that threaten unrest and complicate diplomatic efforts, particularly regarding the Iran nuclear deal.
