Not a market-calibrated forecast.

Frozen conflict / sustained attrition
Combat stabilises roughly along current lines with no formal ceasefire; exchanges continue at lower intensity. Sanctions remain in place. Ukraine receives sustained Western military and financial aid. No territorial resolution.

Policy lens —The frozen-conflict path extends Europe's energy diversification imperative and NATO's expanded eastern posture indefinitely. OSCE monitoring capability is degraded; Article 5 solidarity tested repeatedly by hybrid incidents. G7 sanctions architecture must be maintained under political pressure from trade partners — the multilateral alignment that built it is the variable to watch.
Trade lens —Defense primes (LMT, NOC, RTX) enjoy a multi-year procurement cycle. European energy independence capex continues. EUR remains pressured by energy cost differential vs. US.
