Foreign Affairs: Russia's tactics could give it a significant advantage in 2024. Ukrainian troops are at risk of defeat due to the better strategic adaptation of the Russian army to the current situation.

This opinion was expressed by retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan. Ryan added that if Moscow's advantage in strategic adaptation continues and the West does not respond "appropriately," Kyiv will suffer defeat. Earlier, CIA Director William Burns said that 2024 would be a difficult test of endurance on the battlefield for Ukraine.
