Too often, discussions regarding Russia's (almost) three years of full-scale war on Ukraine have been framed as an “everything now” moment in the news cycle. This style of narrative has often obscured a more nuanced reality—Ukraine is moving step by step towards winning the future for its citizens while consistently defying the prognostications of an impending collapse on the battlefield.
In the days before the New Year, I appeared on Poland’s International Television Channel, TVP World. While having previously posted the YouTube link to the full 15-minute interview they conducted with me, I felt it necessary to carve out the last 90 seconds of my appearance. This clip focused on what 2025 means for Ukraine.
A question so generalized allowed for grand prognostications. Despite the temptations to engage it in that manner, I sidestepped the trap and explained why 2025 will be successful for the Ukrainian people.
