If Russia suffers from "national narcissism" and believes that Russia is responsible for 61% of all world history, then Trump essentially has to "reason with crazy" so to speak. And you can't reason with crazy. So it's not surprising if its true that the odds of Trump settling the conflict is less than 50% within the first 90 days of the Trump administration. But maybe Russia's sky-high inflation, Russian ruble that has fallen in value and Russia's big labor shortages will make the Russians more amenable to working out a deal with Trump soon.

Trump's team may eventually work out a deal with Russia, but the odds do seem like it's less than 50% of it happening in the first 90 days
