Three years on, the Russian Federation still seems keen on waging its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since launching the military incursion into Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the Russians have been embarrassed.
According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Russians have sustained nearly 800,000 casualties since the start of the war, half of which came in 2024. In addition, the Russians lost tens of billions in military equipment. Despite these tremendous losses, the Russian Federation will continue to wage its war in Ukraine.
To date, over 70% of Russian citizens continue to support Russia’s full-scale invasion. Most Russians still believe that their military can win the war. In addition, over 70% of Russian citizens continue to favor Russian President Vladimir Putin and his actions. As a result, Putin will continue to wage his war, claiming he is seeking to please his citizens and voters.
He will also continue to push for a forced victory in 2025. After enlisting Serbian, Indian, and Yemeni mercenaries to fight in his war, Putin welcomed thousands of North Korean soldiers to help him in his invasion of Ukraine. Their inclusion, however, has not been successful. Several Indian and Yemeni mercenaries have opted to terminate their contracts after seeing the horrors of war. Meanwhile, the North Korean troops have struggled to assimilate with their Russian counterparts, and hundreds of North Korean soldiers have been killed.
