Therefore, there are no guarantees that negotiations between the US and the Russian Federation can lead to peace. The termination of the Russian-Ukrainian war is unlikely, and with the current trends, Russia can completely capture the Donbas by the end of the year. The Independent writes about it.

The publication added that the armed forces of the Russian Federation seek to increase their military advantage as much as possible.
