Military advances on their own may not shift the course of the ongoing conflict, according to new strategic assessments. Analysts warn that territorial control must be paired with broader political, economic, and social stability to achieve lasting change. The focus now appears to be on whether sustained progress in these areas can be made alongside battlefield victories. Experts suggest that without addressing deeper underlying factors, even significant territorial wins could fail to deliver a decisive outcome.
Territorial gains alone will not be enough to change the trajectory of the war.
