It has been more than two years since Russia invaded Ukraine. If the latest predictions are correct, Russia may emerge victorious from this war in the coming months. They will probably do so by toppling the Ukrainian government and turning Ukraine into something similar to Belarus: a Russian protectorate.
It has also been about six months since Israel launched its invasion of Gaza. Their overall intention is to eradicate Hamas and secure a new government that is not hell-bent on destroying Israel. So far, they have not accomplished that goal, but the overall impression from a variety of news sources indicates that their victory is only a matter of time.
