russia won't give up its goal of taking control of Ukr any time soon whtr this war ends or not. For that, they need deimperialization and there's no sign anyone in Ru wants to pursue it. This means the "root of the conflict " which Pu talked abt can't be solved. Ru can only be stopped not satisfied
