Is Ukraine Any Closer to Peace After Four Years of War?

Ukraine, its European backers and the United States have drawn closer to agreeing a blueprint for peace, but various questions remain.

Can anyone accept Russian sincerity? How to treat Moscow's demands for territory in the Donbas, and beyond? And what is to be made of Russia's attitude towards security guarantees for Ukraine?

In this bonus episode of GSB, we hear from a panel of experts on the prospects for peace, four years on from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Their remarks were recorded during a RUSI event on Tuesday 24 February 2026: Recording: Ukraine: Prospects for Peace, Four Years After Russia's Invasion | Royal United Services Institute.

In an hour-long discussion, the RUSI panellists, including Dr Neil Melvin, Director of International Security, Matthew Savill, Director of Military Sciences, Dr Maryna Vorotnyuk, Associate Fellow and Dr Jonathan Eyal, Associate Director, tackled a wide range of questions relating to:

What a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine might look like.

The role of the rest of Europe in supporting Ukraine and applying pressure to Russia.

Key challenges and opportunities for rebuilding Ukraine's post-war infrastructure.
