What is the timeframe for ending the war in Ukraine, and would lack of peace by summer be considered a failure?

The Trump administration has made ending the Ukraine war a major focus early in their term, with high-level talks already underway. While specific deadlines weren't explicitly stated in the transcript, there appears to be an implied expectation about potential progress by summer. The urgency is understandable as the conflict enters its third year with significant casualties on both sides. The administration appears to be prioritizing this issue, though the absence of Ukrainian officials from these discussions raises concerns about the inclusiveness of the peace process.
