Russia won't start from a position of ceding Crimea and the East back to Ukraine and Ukraine refuses to give a single acre.

The war will go on until SOMEONE budges.

the Ukrainians finally have the weapons needed to move offensively in many locations. They must have the needed weapons to push the Russians back to their border, the sooner the better.
