Assessing the Prospects of Ukraine's NATO Membership.

As Ukraine prepares for the NATO summit in Vilnius, there are concerns that the "open-ended ticket to the Alliance" that Ukraine is expected to receive will encourage Russia to continue its aggression indefinitely. Experts suggest that NATO needs to provide more specifics on Ukraine's membership and accelerate the provision of military aid to prevent an "eternal war." They also propose the formation of a small-format alliance within NATO to counteract Russia's actions and prevent its military defeat.

Former Russian Commander Warns of Military Defeat in Ukraine for Putin's Forces.

Former Russian commander in Ukraine, Igor Girkin, has criticized Russia's war strategy, saying that the country is heading towards military defeat. Girkin, who is now a prominent war blogger, claimed that Russian society was not prepared for such a "long, protracted" war. He also criticized the Russian media for "glossing over" the war's detrimental effects on the country. This comes as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, said that Russia's army is "struggling in a big way," and the country's economy is also struggling. Girkin played a major role in the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and was later dismissed from a position of authority in the Donetsk People's Republic in August 2014.

The Uncertain Future of Ukraine's Counteroffensive Against Putin's War.

A new assessment by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggests that Ukraine needs a series of successful counteroffensives against Russian forces to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war through negotiation or military defeat. The ISW argues that it is "likely essential" for Kyiv to have multiple, major victories against Russian forces for a settlement to be reached or for the Kremlin to accept that their troops cannot win. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Kyiv's forces cannot get counteroffensive operations underway without further Western aid.
