 Russia has lost its fighting edge in the form of Wagner. Politically, it's become more isolated with Turkey and India now nailing their colours to the West. At home, there's a loss of morale with the damage inflicted on the Kerch Bridge, attacks on Russian territory and young men not returning home alive. And on the battle field, Ukraine is advancing.  
And after that, entry to NATO and the EU will come.
None of the above guarantees a Ukranian military victory and we'll only know for sure in time.

 If the two sides don't agree a deal then the temptation for Trump would be to lean on the side that he has most leverage with or look ineffective. That's Ukraine, via the US's supply of intelligence and arms.
