This was/is never ending until Ukraine ceded territory. I think I was consistent in saying this from the start.

The only question has ever been how much

Those asserting that Russia could be pushed back to pre-2014 lines, that was never happening.

Russia does not have to give up any of the land they have taken, because no one can take it back from them.

Anyway, that said, if no one is happy they can just both carry on killing each other.
