Others :
War is also ongoing in multiple other countries at different scale :
-Anti-gang war in multiple countries of latin America (Brazil, Salvador...)
-Frozen or less active wars in Libya and Irak
-War in Western Sahara between Morrocco and Polisario
-Peace found in Turkiye (PKK), Armenia and Azerbaijan, Tajikistan/Kirgizistan (still sometimes some shots at the border)
-Small scale fightings on China-India and India-Pakistan border, as well as in the south China sea.
Trump's peace: mirage or reality?
Trump believes he stopped about eight wars:
-DRC/Rwanda (the war continued)
-Armenia/Azerbaijan (his action was just a drop in the ocean)
-India/Pakistan (the war would have ended on its own, but good work in negotiation)
-Cambodia/Thailand (the war resumed)
-And the other four are probably the wars between Israel and Arab countries within the framework of the Abraham Accords... In the end, a truly mixed record, and Trump's actions weren't really decisive (except in the case of Israel).
Regarding Trump's promise to end the war in Ukraine in one day, we've been waiting for a year now; he's been tricked every time by Putin. Furthermore, Trump bombed many countries (Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Venezuela...).
In 2026, war is still present, with major interstate conflicts (Ukraine/Russia, DRC/Rwanda, Israel/Iran, etc.), widespread internal wars (Sudan, Yemen, etc.), substate wars linked to terrorism (Sahel, Central Africa, Mozambique, Afghanistan, etc.), rebellions (Indonesia, Philippines, Ethiopia, etc.), and gang wars.
Of course, there would also be much to say about hybrid wars (Russia vs. Europe, for example), cyber wars, and other types of conflict, but that would be too broad a topic. Here, I have attempted to create a typology of the main global conflicts at the start of this new year.
Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops
