According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, is the war in Ukraine likely to end soon

According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the war in Ukraine is unlikely to end soon due to several reasons:

• The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has been occurring for several years, with no clear resolution in sight. This indicates that the conflict is deeply entrenched and will require significant efforts to bring it to an end.
• The lack of progress in implementing the Minsk agreements, which were meant to establish a ceasefire and a political solution, further hampers the prospects for a quick end to the war.
• The involvement of various international actors, including Russia, further complicates the situation. The differing interests and agendas of these actors make it difficult to achieve a consensus and find a peaceful resolution.
• The presence of armed groups and the continued violence in eastern Ukraine pose significant challenges to achieving a lasting peace. The ongoing clashes and violations of the ceasefire indicate the persistence of deep-rooted tensions.

Given these factors, Secretary General Guterres believes that it will require sustained diplomatic efforts and commitment from all parties involved to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.
