Scope Note

ZeroFox Intelligence is derived from a variety of sources, including—but not limited to—curated open-source accesses, vetted social media, proprietary data sources, and direct access to threat actors and groups through covert communication channels. Information relied upon to complete any report cannot always be independently verified. As such, ZeroFox applies rigorous analytic standards and tradecraft in accordance with best practices and includes caveat language and source citations to clearly identify the veracity of our Intelligence reporting and substantiate our assessments and recommendations. All sources used in this particular Intelligence product were identified prior to 2:00 PM (EDT) on March 31, 2022; per cyber hygiene best practices, caution is advised when clicking on any third-party links.

Executive Summary

A negotiated end to the war is unlikely in the near term, despite signs of progress from March 29, 2022, talks in Istanbul. Ukraine has proposed a military alliance to guarantee its security against Russian aggression, but its adoption is improbable due to the requirement of Western military intervention. Sweden and Finland are reassessing their neutrality and considering applications for NATO admission. Russia will likely conquer Mariupol soon and redeploy other forces to Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
