Zaluzhny urged people not to assume that Russia has already lost the war: what is the main danger?

The former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that the war has entered a phase of attrition, and that its outcome will be determined not by individual successes on the front line, but by the states’ ability to withstand a protracted conflict.
