As Russia’s war against Ukraine enters another critical phase, questions about how it might end are becoming increasingly urgent. Recent diplomatic initiatives, peace proposals, and shifting political dynamics in Europe and the United States have reignited debate over what a sustainable settlement could look like and on whose terms. This panel brings together military attachés from Austria, Germany, France, Ukraine and the United States (tbc) to reflect on the war’s trajectory, the realities on the ground, and the conditions under which negotiations could become viable. What would constitute a just and durable peace? How do military developments shape diplomatic possibilities? And what would different end scenarios mean for Ukraine, for Russia, and for the future of European security?
