Peter Zalmayev, director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative, told France 24 that Russia has consistently pursued maximalist objectives in Ukraine, rejecting narratives that Moscow is only now 'taking the gloves off. He said Ukrainian drone innovation has complicated Russia's military superiority but cannot permanently offset disparities in manpower, industrial capacity, and external support. Zalmayev described the conflict as an 'escalatory spiral of attrition.
