Ukraine is actively working to stop the war through a combination of robust military defense and persistent diplomatic engagement.
Its strategy aims to inflict unsustainable costs on Russia while building international consensus for a just peace.
Ukrainian forces continue to defend against Russian aggression, significantly depleting enemy resources. Russia has lost over 1.5 million soldiers since 2022, primarily due to Ukrainian resistance efforts. This sustained pressure aims to make continued Russian aggression untenable.
Ukraine maintains strong international connections, as evidenced by 82 tracked signals for Ukraine compared to 79 for Russia, indicating high global engagement. The nation leverages its influence score of 100/100 to rally support for sanctions and peace initiatives, consistently highlighting the human cost, such as the recent Russian drone attack killing two at a Ukraine Moldova border crossing. These efforts seek to isolate Russia and foster conditions for a lasting peace.
