The War in Ukraine Continues Against the Background of Russia's Economic Hardships

  • The Russian economy is facing serious difficulties due to sanctions.
  • The recent meeting between the USA and Ukraine did not bring significant progress.
  • Both sides have clear demands that complicate peace negotiations.

Despite the USA's efforts regarding peace negotiations, the war in Ukraine continues. The Russian economy is experiencing significant difficulties due to sanctions, which affect its financial resources. Recent meetings between American and Ukrainian officials took place in Geneva on November 23, but the compromise between the parties remains difficult.

According to information, Russian energy companies, such as "Rosneft" and "Lukoil", are facing serious losses due to sanctions, which lead to a decrease in revenues. Recent data indicates that the volume of oil exports has decreased, while budget deficits in Russian regions are increasing. This complicates the process of recruiting new military personnel, as expenses for recruitment and bonuses are rising.

Following the criticism of the previous 28-point peace plan, new proposals were reviewed, but key issues, such as territorial concessions and Ukraine's accession to NATO, remain unresolved. Ukraine insists on preserving its territories and the right to join NATO, while Russia demands the demilitarization of Ukraine.

After the latest diplomatic efforts, including the possible visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the USA, the situation remains tense. Both sides must have clear red lines that complicate the achievement of a peace agreement.

At the same time, Russia's economic difficulties, including the decline in oil revenues, may impact its military capabilities. In Ukraine, military operations continue, while international efforts are focused on achieving peace in this conflict.
