As tensions continue to mount over Russia’s aggression, Ukraine has issued a stark warning about the potential consequences of allowing Russia to encroach further into Europe.
A new project published by United24, the official fundraising platform launched by President Zelenskyy, presents a chilling forecast about what the future might hold if the West doesn’t take decisive action to halt Russia’s progress.
The project, called the “Possible History,” marks three years since the full-scale Russian invasion and serves as a serious cautionary tale for Europe.
United24’s Stark Warning to Europe
The project, which draws from intelligence reports provided by Estonia and Denmark, paints a bleak picture of Europe’s future if Russia continues unchecked.
According to their forecast, by the end of 2025, Russia could find itself in active conflict with NATO forces.
The scenario predicts Russia initiating military exercises in Belarus and, with support from Transnistria, seizing Moldova within 15 months.
This alarming projection highlights the growing risks as Russia strengthens its military presence near NATO’s borders.
By 2027, the forecast goes further to suggest Europe could experience cyber-attacks and internet outages caused by undersea cables being cut, similar to previous incidents attributed to Russian interference.
As tensions rise, it’s predicted that by 2028, European nations might be scrambling to prepare for a conflict that could see pro-Russian governments hosting military bases in Slovakia and Hungary.
This would, in turn, prompt European countries to revisit conscription and dramatically increase defense spending.
Peace Deal Fears Fuel Growing Concerns
With ongoing talks about a potential peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, many are concerned that a compromise could leave Ukraine—and Europe—vulnerable.
The United States, under the leadership of former President Donald Trump, has taken a more conciliatory approach, considering concessions to Moscow without offering long-term security guarantees for Kyiv.
This has sparked fear in Ukraine and throughout Europe about the risks of a flawed peace agreement.
The U.S. administration’s recent efforts to negotiate peace, including the idea of placing peacekeepers in Ukraine, have stirred controversy.
While Britain and France have agreed to field peacekeepers, Russia remains opposed, claiming that such a move would escalate tensions.
These developments leave many questioning whether peace, in this context, is achievable or even desirable without sacrificing the long-term security of the region.
A Growing Threat: Russian Military Build-up and Hybrid Warfare
United24’s “Possible History” also draws attention to Russia’s ongoing preparations for future conflict, particularly through the development of hybrid warfare tactics.
Intelligence agencies from Latvia and Denmark have highlighted growing concerns that Russia is actively working to develop capabilities for sabotage and disruption within Europe.
The reports suggest that Russia may be preparing to test NATO’s Article 5 mutual defense clause within the next five years, further escalating tensions across the continent.
Russia’s influence is not limited to military maneuvers alone.
The hybrid warfare campaign includes efforts to disrupt critical infrastructure, including communications and internet access.
United24 warns that such actions could be catastrophic for global infrastructure, with Russian actions undermining the stability of the international system.
These tactics are already being seen in the Baltic region, where there have been multiple incidents of undersea cables being cut, sparking fears of future disruptions to essential services.
Ukraine’s Continued Struggles and the Long-Term Risk
As Ukraine battles on the frontlines, President Zelenskyy has continued to warn of the growing danger posed by Russia, which may seek to expand its control over former Soviet states, including the Baltics and even NATO countries.
Ukraine’s position remains one of resistance, with the government making it clear that peace must come with guarantees that Russia will not use diplomacy to further its imperial ambitions.
The “Possible History” concludes with a stark message: while Russia’s actions seem to be progressing unchecked, the future remains uncertain.
The project emphasizes that peace can only be achieved through strength, not appeasement.
United24’s efforts to highlight this potential scenario serve as a reminder to the international community that the war in Ukraine is not just a regional conflict—it’s a struggle for the very future of Europe.
A Call to Action for Europe and the World
The “Possible History” project’s vivid predictions underscore the urgency of a united and robust response from Europe and its allies.
United24’s message is clear: without decisive action, Russia’s ambitions could reshape the geopolitical landscape of Europe, leaving nations like Ukraine vulnerable and Europe itself on the brink of a broader conflict.
As the situation continues to evolve, the call for strength, solidarity, and careful diplomatic action has never been more urgent.
The question remains—can Europe and the international community prevent this dire forecast from becoming reality?
