Well, if Trump, Putin, and Zelensky really do gather in a room together, I think anything could happen. But without them, some kind of ceasefire seems the best hope.

But the latest dust up with Ukraine involves Zelensky's refusal to acknowledge the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia took from Ukraine in 2014 yesterday. as now formally part of Russia. This is apparently a component of this U.S. peace deal and the non-starter for Ukraine.
