Instead, post-Soviet Russia's wars have tended to freeze into perpetual unresolved conflicts, with Russia retaining chunks of other people's territory - enduring international opprobrium - and waiting out any ensuing sanctions. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

It's often claimed that "all wars end in negotiations." But to date, none of post-Soviet Russia's many wars have ended that way. 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

A reason that post-Soviet Russia's wars end as "frozen conflicts" is that they have ended on terms more or less satisfactory to Russian leadership. Russian leaders have never seen any need for a more formal resolution that might require some concession to adversaries. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org
