It has been 1,000 days since the start of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, a war that seems far from ending or entering negotiation.
Russia's tactics to take control are costly in human lives but effective in progressing in territory.
The arrival of Donald Trump could change the course of the conflict; his posture differs from Biden's in opening immediate conversations and being skeptical with aid to Ukraine.
Ukrainian president, Zelenski, shows desire to end the war by 2025 by diplomatic means.
A possible negotiated solution would be for Russia to maintain control of Crimea and Donbass while Ukraine gets closer to the EU and NATO.
Conclusion: The situation remains difficult, with increases in violence and expectations placed in the role that Trump's administration will play. Power dynamics and territory are at stake, along with the lives of those caught in the conflict.
