The longer this war persist the more territory Ukraine will lose, and Russia is never going to give any of it back to Ukraine. If Putin tries to give any of that territory back to Ukraine that would be a huge slap in the face to the families who lost loved ones in this war. Putin would never do that, the Russian people would be furious with him if he did. If anyone who has been keeping up with this war they already know it was the U.S. and NATO that caused this war, not Russia.
