National Security: End Game

As the second anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine War approaches, the front in the east wrapping around to Crimea has settled into a stalemate where neither side makes much, if any, progress. The Russians are unable to gain ground, and the Ukrainians are equally dug-in and unwilling to budge. The Zelenskyy government says the war will continue until the Russians are expelled from Ukrainian soil (but no promises on the Crimean Peninsula). Is that achievable? Putin doesn’t say much of anything.
