There are significant elements in the American intelligence community, relying on field reports and technical intelligence, who believe that the demoralized Ukraine army has given up on the possibility of overcoming the heavily mined three-tier Russian defense lines and taking the war to Crimea and the four oblasts seized and annexed by Russia.

The reality is that Volodymyr Zelensky’s battered army no longer has any chance of a victory.

The war continues, I have been told by an official with access to current intelligence, because Zelensky insists that it must. There is no discussion in his headquarters or in the Biden White House of a ceasefire and no interest in talks that could lead to an end to the slaughter.

There was a 2015 UN Security Resolution governing the Minsk Treaty which should've convened the UN Security Council in February 2022 to discuss, especially after Ukraine rejected the security agreements from Germany, France and continued the war on the Donbass. Whether it resulted in a UN peacekeeping force or authorizing the intervention by Russia as the other guarantor of the treaty (very unlikely) is anyone's guess.
