NATO says the Russia-Ukraine war is 'far from over' despite Ukraine's stunning counterattack — here's why

This is a translation of an article that was published in September.

Despite the country's successful counteroffensive against Russian forces, the war is far from over, according to a NATO report.

According to the report, neither side is likely to achieve a decisive victory for now, after the Ukrainian army mounted a successful counterattack in recent days that has driven back Russian forces.

Russia was continuing its attack on the Donbas region regardless of the costs and it was likely to escalate operations with conventional means.

The war is not over despiteUkrainian troops pushing back Russian forces in the east.

The Russian and Ukrainian troops are sticking to their guns. It said neither side is likely to achieve a decisive victory.

This assessment is different from the hope that the counteroffensive could be a blow to the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that his country has regained 6,000 square kilometers of territory.

The counteroffensive had been a turning point in the war according to the deputy prime minister.

It seems a resolution is far from being reached, with the Kremlin recently raising its concerns about Ukraine's plans to join NATO.

The Kremlin said that the need for a special military operation was reinforced by the ambitions of Ukraine.
