It takes time for an equilibrium to be broken and a new equilibrium to be re-established, and the new equilibrium must be different from the original intentions of the parties, that is, the so-called compromise, in fact, there is a possibility that all parties can accept, and this solution is the best.
The Russia-Ukraine war has an unconventional outcome, and a consequence that is of practical significance. In addition to this, there are two unlikely outcomes.
The unconventional result was the sudden decapitation of Zelensky, as well as the fall of his **, and the pro-Russian control of Ukraine. Writing could provoke a series of subsequent geopolitical conflicts around the Black Sea, that is, conflicts between the former Soviet republics, and reshape Eastern Europe as a regional hot spot, exacerbating the contradictions between Russia and Europe. It could also lead to the collapse of the global order in the United States.
This situation was rare after World War II, but it is not uncommon in history.
The practical result is the partition of Ukraine, with the West and Russia each acquiescing in each other's vested interests in Ukraine.
The Russian-Ukrainian war has three dimensions, one, Ukraine must accept punishment, two, Russia must pay the price, and third, the West must achieve its goal.
The partition is the result of a tripartite equilibrium, and at the same time it is an acceptable plan for Zelen, the only problem is that the West is not involved enough, and NATO has been sitting on the hill and watching the tiger fight, unable to form a situation like the German partition. But it is not necessarily that the West is unwilling to intervene in Ukraine, and partition is one way to intervene in the long term.
Two unlikely results, one is Zelian** "restore the old rivers and mountains", and happily join NATO's Russian idea, because in the face of Russia, Ukraine has no such ability, and it is already fortunate that it will not be eliminated, or divided by fish and meat. Second, there was a sudden change within Russia, and the pro-British and American factions came to power, thus withdrawing from the war. It depends on whether public opinion in Russia is gathering or sloppy.
However, there is one thing, the future of Ukraine is fought for by the Ukrainians, whether it is Western intervention or complete reunification, and the West completely depends on the situation and decides what to do next, because the Ukrainian problem is not imminent, and they have not yet reached the time to burn their eyebrows.
If the Ukrainians are willing to lie down, or are willing to accept Wang Jingwei-style peace. That is also their own choice, and at the same time, it is also the result that Russia wants most, and Russia will not give up its active efforts in this regard.
In any case, the way the war in Ukraine ends must be planned in advance, otherwise too many unexpected factors could lead to a real third world war.
The war will eventually end.
