The longer the war... Does time favour Ukraine or Russia?

What does a long war mean for Russia, where casualties are mounting? Or for Ukraine, where millions have fled their homes? © FRANCE 24

Nearly a month in, Ukraine is resisting as invading Russian forces increasingly resort to shelling civilians. With an estimated 300,000 people trapped in the besieged port city of Mariupol and amid shelling in major cities including the capital, Kyiv is refusing to surrender and the Russian advance is slow going. Are we now digging in for a long war? And what does a long war mean for the invaders and the besieged?

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Antonia Kerrigan and Léopoldine Iribarren
