It's going nowhere.
There won't be a peace deal.
The Russians don't want a peace deal.
Their strategy is to push forward village by smash village in the east and south of Ukraine, create facts on the ground, and meanwhile screw as many concessions as they can from Ukraine
from the American side, that there will be talks, that there is a process, that the Russians are dangling all sorts of deals in front of the American delegation featuring the Arctic, oil, critical minerals, American oil majors returning to the Russian market.
which they left after 2022 and so on.
So it's not just Ukraine, it's much bigger.
And I mean, it's more business than geopolitics.
So this will continue.

three things which are not resolved, and really, I would say at the moment, not resolvable.
One of them is how Ukraine ends up.
Now, most Ukrainians accept that some loss of territory is inevitable.
It's going to be very hard and impossible to get everything back.

The Russian position is that large chunks of Ukraine, four provinces,
only one of which Russia fully controls, are now part of Russia.
