I’ll just leave this here, it may not age well.
I do not see an end to this conflict without negotiation. That’s it.
There will not be a “ total victory” for either side.

I will leave this here also:
Ukraine does not have to forcefully repel every Russian soldier off its territory. It just has to make it untenable for them to remain. This is likely to occur, possibly by the end of this year but likely by the middle of next, by a combination of attrition, further enhancement of Ukraine’s war-fighting ability, and political instability within Russia itself.
There will be no negotiated end to the war, but Ukraine will restore its borders and will enter Nato; prior to it entering Nato it will benefit from substantial bilateral support from Poland, the Baltics and the UK. This will include a significant military presence from those states.
