The scariest thing is: there certainly will be a peace deal at some point, the conflict will be frozen with new borders mimicking current frontlines, and the whole thing will eventually become a time bomb with a countdown to a potential WW3. People claiming to be pacifists usually bring up the "Unjust peace is better than a war of justice" quote at this point of a conversation, but they're just plain dumb if they don't understand that in the 99% of the cases the "unjust peace" is a primary reason to start a bigger war in the future. What's going on now is not just a "stalemate in a conflict between two slavic countries", but the stalemate for the whole world's diplomacy, in which almost any possible next move leads to a disaster. If the Ukrainian government refuses to give up hopes of regaining their lost territories, then the war will continue and lead to a slow, but inevitable economic downfall for the both sides, and, as a result, the neverending global crisis we observe now. However, if they do decide to sign any kind of a peace treaty with Russia without reaching their military goals, it'll basically set a foundation for an even worse global conflict 10-20 years away, as both sides will be entitled to the max to get their final revenge, and will have the time and resourses to prepare. The only question here is: "What is better - a horrible end or an endless horror?"Yeah I was a little optimistic on how fast it would take to clean out Ukraine. Still though, it's getting cleaned out and even their much announced summer offensive has turned out to be a real dud.
Not only that but now they are sending in the disabled to fight somehow. Saw a YouTube of a retarded guy on the front lines where he most definitely doesn't belong.
It's real awful but they refuse to accept defeat. It's getting so bad even their legislature is thinking of escaping while your average joes can't leave. They are even thinking of recalling all refugees and forcing them to fight.
I think it's time for Ukraine to face the music and give up. It's over. Even the US won't fund them and funding war and fighting war is all it does anymore.
Theoretically though, the best "get out of jail free" card for the West now would be a sudden regime change in Russia, with some moderate guy taking over and willing to deescalate the situation by beginning a long and painful process of negotiations with basically everyone, to develop a reasonable compromise. It's not impossible, considering that there already are some candidates on the role, but if this happens, it certainly won't be a totally peaceful transition of power, which raises a whole lot of other problems.
