The longer the Russian-Ukrainian war drags on, the better for Russia. Why? what do you think?

This is because Russia has made a lot of money with its rich energy advantages. But I think this advantage is only temporary, and the extension of war time will do more harm than good to both sides in the end.

Before the start of the war, all sides made great misjudgments. Russia underestimated Ukraine's resistance, so that it failed to sign the armistice treaty quickly. Ukraine overestimated the importance attached to it by western countries, so that it became a victim of the hegemony of great powers. Europe overestimated its ability to withstand pressure, which led to a serious energy crisis. On the surface, the United States is the biggest beneficiary, but the price is the continuous weakening of international discourse power. There is never a real winner in the war. Only when all parties return to rationality and start negotiations again can we give the victims the best help.

First of all, the soaring energy prices have benefited Russia a lot. Russia has a vast territory and abundant resources, so there is nothing to be afraid of fighting a protracted war. Western countries think it is easy for Russia to surrender. As a result, they not only failed in their wishful thinking, but also rode a tiger. They never imagined that Russia's huge expenditure in the war was earned through energy, and more importantly, it suppressed the arrogance of western countries.

Second, but Russia is also under great pressure. However, the impact of long-term sanctions and frontline consumption on Russia cannot be ignored. It is impossible to solve all problems simply by exporting energy. In the long run, both sides of the war need a chance to stop fighting. Russia still has an advantage in the front line, but how to force Ukraine to solve the problem through consultation is a technical problem.

Third, endless wars have no winners. War is never a pleasant thing. If Putin had not been forced, he would not have stopped Russia's national movement and launched a war. All parties should have an understanding that the continuation of the war will harm everyone's interests.

How do you think the Russian-Ukrainian war will end?
