Swedish expert indicates the end date of the war in Ukraine. Frozen front and a new map of Europe

A Swedish military expert predicts that the war in Ukraine may conclude in the second quarter of 2027, suggesting a freeze of the current front lines without formal peace agreements. Colonel Johan Huovinen believes that Russia will maintain control over occupied territories, while Ukraine will receive security guarantees from the US and Europe, paving the way for EU membership. However, another expert, Colonel Joakim Paasikivi, disagrees, stating there are no signs of a potential peace agreement soon, and suggests that Putin feels encouraged by recent developments in Washington.
