There's a pretty good chance the war starts coming to a close this year. The west is basically tapped out in terms of what it can send, and Ukraine is in no position to pursue the war on its own. I expect that Europe will start seeing a lot of political change this year too. People are sick of the war and current Atlanticist parties are likely to start losing power. Relations between Russia and the west are likely to keep being sour though, but perhaps it'll at least return to a semblance of civility.

I can’t believe I forgot about the lingering tensions that may be present. I hope that doesn't affect my chances but I’ll accept it if it does. I hope the war ends soon, the only people I see still supporting it are NAFO, some scattered individuals on Twitter, and unfortunately some world leaders (mainly in my country…).

The sooner the whole thing ends the better, no question about that. My expectation that in the long run, Europe will find a way to get along with Russia because cutting Russia out hurts too much economically. The question is how long the current Atlanticist ideology will last. Will be interesting to see what happens during the elections, and where things go from there.
