Not going to happen. They held Crimea and controlled large parts of the Donbass before the February 2022 invasion started.

That could change only if Putin takes a dirt nap or his allies in the Politburo abandon him.

The late Saeb Erekat-remember him? He had a PHD in Peace Studies. Died in a Jewish hospital. A waste of human skin.

George McGovern had a masters in economics.

Why do people think that if Putin isn’t there a new and friendly guy will appear who allows the west to turn Russia into the Liberal World Order puppet state?

I do hope the recent Ukrainian victories will lead to peace. Ukraine could gain a complete victory, but how many more years of fighting and destruction to take Crimea?

Better to sign a deal that gives up Crimea in exchange for Russian retreat from the rest of the country, and Ukraine’s ability to join the EU and unofficially NATO.
