More than three years since the full-scale invasion, the war in Ukraine has evolved into a prolonged, technologically sophisticated, and strategically ambiguous conflict. This complex and critical situation is the subject of a recent analysis by Alina Rohach, Project Manager of the Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center, in her article for the Argentinian media outlet Escenario Mundial, titled “Silent Resistance: Ukraine and the Peace That Never Comes” (“Resistir en silencio: Ucrania y la paz que no llega”).
Rohach’s article delves into the current reality on the ground, where the war has become a battle of attrition. She highlights the minimal territorial changes along the front lines, particularly in eastern regions, contrasting with an alarming escalation in aerial attacks. The piece details how Russia is intensifying its use of drones and missiles against Ukrainian civilian and critical infrastructure, noting an increase in the scale and frequency of these bombardments, with record-breaking attacks like the 728 drones launched on a single night in early July 2025.
Despite these immense pressures, Rohach observes a remarkable resilience and high societal cohesion within Ukraine, even as discussions around “war fatigue” become more prevalent internationally. However, she warns against the dangerous global tendency to perceive the conflict as “frozen” or “normalized,” especially as international attention shifts towards other crises. This perception, she argues, risks diminishing the understanding of the ongoing realities and the critical demands for a just resolution.
