The war in Ukraine will not end anytime soon. A peace proposal was made to the Russians at the G20 meeting in Bali. They must surrender the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia and Crimea will become a demilitarized zone. The Russian fleet must leave and in 2029 there should be a referendum on the final status of Crimea. Russia has said no to that.
