EDITO. Guerre en Ukraine : l’année de la paix ? 23.02.2026

The war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year since Russia's invasion on February 24, 2022, has inflicted immense suffering, with nearly two million casualties and widespread destruction of infrastructure. Despite the harsh winter conditions and relentless Russian bombardments targeting energy facilities, Ukrainian soldiers continue to resist with remarkable courage and national unity. Europe views the Ukrainian front as its own, emphasizing the need to support Ukraine with the means to continue the war effort and negotiate a just peace, especially as the reliability of the United States as an ally diminishes and President Biden reportedly urges Ukraine to cede territory. The article questions whether this upcoming year could finally bring peace, driven by mutual fatigue, though acknowledges this hope might be naive, while also pondering the possibility of the conflict extending for another four years.
