Timing is nu de grote uitdaging, schrijft Rob de Wijk in Trouw. Het beste moment om een staakt-het-vuren te pushen is het moment dat Zelensky nog standhoudt en Poetin de economische pijn hard voelt. Biden heeft de kennis en ervaring om partijen naar 'n staakt-het-vuren te leiden. Zijn opvolger niet.

Na 1000 dagen oorlog geven zowel Oekraïne als Rusland nog altijd niet op, maar Trump kan een gamechanger zijn, stellen HCSS analisten Tim Sweijs en Rob de Wijk. Een Russische winst zou voor Europa grote gevolgen hebben: "Als Oekraïne de oorlog verliest, gaat Rusland elders nieuwe doelwitten zoeken."

Employing drones along with ballistic or cruise missiles has been a hallmark of the war, HCSS analyst Davis Ellison says. "Used in combination, they can overwhelm air defence systems to ensure the heavier payload of the missile strikes the higher-value target."
