Marco Rubio just recently said that its going to be a long before a deal is actually made between Ukraine and Russia, as we read in the New York Times:

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is scheduled to meet with Mr. Trump on Monday, and is expected to be flanked by at least half a dozen European leaders.

In a tandem appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was also at Mr. Trump’s side in Anchorage, took a more cautious approach. He warned that both Russia and Ukraine would need to make concessions to end the war and that a peace agreement might be elusive in the short term.

“We made progress in the sense that we identified potential areas of agreement, but there remain some big areas of disagreement,” Mr. Rubio said. “So we’re still a long ways off. We are not at the precipice of a peace agreement. We are not at the edge of one. But I do think progress was made.”

Russia is clearly the winner in this conflict and its not going to leave empty handed. Concessions will have to be made in order for a serious deal to be made.
