How 2025 could bring Putin closer to victory over Europe

The Independent  

Ordinarily, it’s historians writing after the fact that identify the pivotal dates in wars when the road to victory or defeat becomes clear.

But Russia’s efforts to cause mayhem and misery abroad tend to calm down when the situation is relatively stable and increase when the war is not going Moscow’s way.
