Winning in Ukraine Could Raise Nuclear Stakes, Analysts Warn
Original: The Paradox of Victory: When Winning in Ukraine Raises the Nuclear Stakes
A new analysis argues that any decisive victory for Ukraine or Russia could paradoxically increase nuclear risk rather than reduce it. The piece suggests that a collapsing side might resort to escalation, or that a victorious side could push ambitions further, drawing NATO closer to direct confrontation. The argument is feeding debate among defence analysts about how the war should end.
Why now: Ongoing fighting in Ukraine keeps Western commentators debating how battlefield outcomes affect nuclear escalation risks.
