According to an analysis by ISW, Russia has captured only 97 square kilometers of Ukrainian land during the first half of 2026, indicating that at its current rate, Russia would require another 14 years of conflict to fully occupy Donetsk, having already engaged in 12 years of warfare. With monthly casualties reaching 40,000 and Ukraine launching significant strikes into Russian territory, military experts caution that Putin is on the brink of a profound military setback with no clear conventional route to success. The most perilous situation for Americans: around 100,000 US nationals reside in NATO countries in Europe that could become prime targets if Russia opts for preemptive strikes instead of facing conventional military defeat.
