Yes. Both sides now want peace. The issue now is what sort of peace are they willing to settle for?

Well, he's made proposals that would pull NATO therefore us right into the Ukraine.

But he was bound to say that?

"The Associated Press reported that the plan to win his country’s fight against Russia’s invasion could bring peace next year, he said, but it contains a step that some crucial western allies have so far refused to countenance: inviting Ukraine to join Nato before the war ends."

But NATO (and therefore UK) has actually never countenanced it

Zelensky is not going to get NATO protection until a ceasefire is agreed.

If there is a disengagement of the fighting, then a deal can be done for a permanent end to the war, As part of that NATO membership for Ukraine will be possible.

That will ensure a permanent settlement
