I still think this most likely ends unofficially if Ukraine takes back enough.

The Russian campaign has been utterly boneheaded from the outset. Not only did they not realise they would have to actually properly invade and fight to take the country, once they did so they continually underestimated their opposition. Worse, they have treated the people under their control with such utter brutality that no Ukrainian leader could agree to terms as long as any prospect remains of liberating Ukrainian citizens from it. Ukraine has every incentive to fight and none whatsoever to negotiate. Plus their idiot propagandists on state TV are now cheerfully spelling out how Ukraine needs to be bombed into the freezer and then a peace negotiated that lasts long enough for Russia to re-arm and start again.
