     With Putin's unprecedented announcement that "the battlefield is in a very difficult situation", the war is not proceeding the way Russia wanted. As such, discussions on the resumption of peace talks between the two sides began from past October to December under Russia's defensive situation and have drawn attention.

     However, such a discussion was temporarily postponed due to different strategic objectives between Ukraine and the West. Not different from all wars, if there is a beginning, there is an end, and this war too will eventually end through negotiations and compromises. The prospects of a Russian invasion of Ukraine are likely to differ by the situation this winter and the upcoming spring.
