In the eyes of the whole world, the two Slavic peoples of Russia and Ukraine demonstrated the indomitable personality of this nation with iron-blooded confrontation. Analysts are increasingly aware that both Ukraine and Russia are sticking to their own irreconcilable war goals and that a truce next year is out of the question. Experts believe that the fighting will continue at least until 2025. 
Newsweek reported: "Even if Putin is dead, it is unlikely that Russia will back down from the war because it has already bet too much on this war." Beth Nobel, a professor of communication at Fordham University, said. As for the position of the Ukrainians, Peter Rutland, a professor at Middletown Wesleyan University, told Newsweek: "Even if Ukraine's ** is not successful, it will not make the Ukrainians sit down at the negotiating table in despair and start peace negotiations next year". "The goal of the Russians is not only to take control of the occupied territories – but also to domesticate Ukraine into a submissive regime, and they believe in that. At the very least, Putin will wait until the November 2024 election results to make a decision, which he believes will be good for Russia if Trump wins." 
There is uncertainty about aid to Ukraine in 2024, but it is not without opportunities. Isil Akblut Gok, associate professor of public administration at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, told Newsweek that Ukraine will continue to receive international aid. The United States**Biden will definitely increase military support for Kyiv in every way in the spring of 2024, because Biden needs Ukraine's victory to help his campaign**. At the very least, he will do his best to prevent the defeat of Ukraine by the first week of November 2024 (i.e., before the start of **). Convincing Republicans that Putin will be defeated is a major challenge for Biden." 
Russia has made such a huge bet in the war in Ukraine that everything but victory will end unacceptably to the Russians, as evidenced by the growth of Russian defense spending. This is how this people can endure all kinds of internal and external cruel situations, but cannot tolerate failure. Every defeat in a foreign war in history has led to a serious internal crisis in Russia, with coups and even civil wars becoming commonplace. In 2023, Republicans in the US House of Representatives blocked Biden's aid bill, and Orban blocked the EU's aid bill in the EU, which helped Russia consolidate its occupation of southern and eastern Ukraine, and even made Russia's offensive ferocious again. But the Ukrainians were not frightened. 
Morale among Ukrainians remains high, and the latest polls show that the majority of the country still believe that they will win the war and that they will not accept any other outcome than to regain all their lost territory. Therefore, on the land of Eastern Europe, this cruel contest concerning the fate of the two nations will continue.
