In addition,MarlinThe loss of the card also exacerbates the dilemma of the Ukrainian side. In withRussian armyAfter a long standoff, the morale of Ukraine is low, and the reduction in Western aid also exacerbates their difficulties.
However, after the conflict reached a stalemate, the intensification of peace talks became a game-breakerCritical。While Ukraine and the United States are reluctant to negotiate a negotiated solution to the conflict, the reality is that they have lost the initiative and are unable to meet their interests. This is also the reason why Ukraine missed the opportunity for peace talks. Since the outbreak of the conflict, Russia and Ukraine have conducted several rounds of negotiations, butKiev** Abandoning peace talks under pressure from the United States has exacerbated Ukraine's current predicament.

Russia's breakthrough is also a sign that their military is highly motivated and capable of responding to conflict. Although Russia is currently unable to launch and occupy the entire territory of Ukraine on a large scale, and Ukraine is unable to regain the lost 20% of its territory, overall, Russia still has an advantage in this conflict.
Due toRussian armyImportant progress has been made on the front, and Putin has seized the initiative. He has repeatedly expressed his desire to end the conflict as soon as possible and to engage in peace talks, which also shows his attitude towards the current situation and the way in which it can be resolved.
According to reports, Putin said that Russia is willing to engage in peace talks, on the condition that nearly 20% of Ukraine's territory, including the four regions of eastern Ukraine, be retained under Russian jurisdiction. This shows Putin's insistence on Russia's own interests. In addition to the land issue, in recent statements, Putin no longer insisted on Zelensky's position, he said that Ukraine can continue as an IsraelKievexists for the sovereign state of the capital.
This shift in attitude is not surprising, and Russia is aware that it is unlikely to occupy all of Ukraine in the current situation. Maintaining the status quo is ideal for Russia. However, Western countries such as Ukraine and the United States are skeptical of Russia's position. They are reluctant to resolve the conflict through peace talks, because in the negotiations they lose the initiative and cannot meet their own interests.
In the current situation, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is about to come to an end. Biden** no longer has enough resources to support Ukraine, and some European countries have begun to abandon their support for Ukraine. Zelensky faces only one choice, and that is to hold peace talks.
Although Zelensky may continue to resist, this does not change the outcome of the imminent end of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Rather than clinging to blind resistance, Zelensky should consider peace talks to reduce the damage caused by the conflict. After all, the existing state is the ideal way for Russia. Therefore, the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will depend on the willingness of the parties to resolve the issue through negotiations.

Although Ukraine is facing a difficult situation, the only way to break the deadlock is through peace talks is the ultimate choice. Russian armyControlledMarlinThis important town is a testament to high morale and resilience to conflict. Putin said Ukraine, the United States and Western countries remain skeptical that Russia has achieved a dominant position on the front line. The reason for the reluctance of Ukraine and the United States to resolve the conflict through negotiations is that they are unable to gain the initiative in negotiations and are unable to meet their own interests. However, this situation is created by the United States and Ukraine themselves. Since the beginning of the conflict, Russia and Ukraine have held a total of 5 rounds of negotiations, but Ukraine** abandoned the peace talks under pressure from the United States, leading to the current predicament. Although Ukraine is still resisting, this does not change the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
As we enter 2022, the challenges facing Ukraine are even more acute. Biden was unable to provide more support, and European countries began to abandon their support for Ukraine. Under such circumstances, peace negotiations have become a game-breakerCritical。While Russia wants to retain its control in eastern Ukraine, they have also expressed their willingness to engage in peace talks. Ukraine needs to realize that instead of constantly resisting, it is better to negotiate to reduce the damage caused by the conflict.
