According to predictions, we will see massive mechanized wars, other attacks and counter-attacks, more casualties, missile attacks and drone fire.

Russia is not backing down one bit while Ukraine considers its victory “inevitable”.

Unnecessary. It depends on new weapons and possible acquisitions by Ukraine.

“For example they ask for fighter jets; Will they get them?” explains Charles-Philippe David, founder of the Raoul-Tandurant seat at UQÀM.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to deploy more military assets and troops, including armed drones.

We are witnessing a pattern of “military expansion,” says Mr. David.

“Furthermore, the two camps announced, in this first anniversary, that they will go to the end of their boundaries,” reports Guillaume Lavoie, co-member of the Raoul-Tandurant Chair.

“It seems we’re not done hearing the guns,” he adds.
