What challenges exist in achieving lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine?

Achieving lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine presents significant obstacles as evidenced by historical precedent. A previous peace agreement from 2014 collapsed entirely when Russia subsequently invaded Ukraine, highlighting the difficulty of maintaining diplomatic solutions in this region. As noted in the discussions, establishing lasting peace is not something easily achievable despite diplomatic efforts. Current negotiations aim to address these challenges by focusing on realistic pathways toward a sustainable resolution, while acknowledging the complex geopolitical factors that have undermined previous peace attempts.
