Russia Refuses to Budge as War Enters Fifth Year Without End in Sight

Russia shows little sign of compromise as the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year, with the country continuing to delay, stall, and blame others for the stalemate despite renewed diplomatic efforts. The conflict has left no clear end in sight, with ongoing violence and displacement affecting millions of people. Experts say Russia's refusal to compromise is likely to prolong the war, while Ukraine remains committed to defending its sovereignty. Diplomatic efforts continue, but a lasting resolution appears elusive.
