According to a recent article in the journal ''Foreign Affairs'', Kiev and Moscow may have reached a preliminary agreement to end the war as early as April [2022]. Russia and Ukraine may have agreed on a tentative agreement to end the war as early as April, according to a recent article in ''Foreign Affairs''.

The decision to let the deal fail coincided with Johnson's visit to Kyiv in April, during which he urged Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to break off talks with Russia for two main reasons: you can't negotiate with Putin, and the West isn't ready to end the war.<ref>[https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/09/02/diplomacy-watch-why-did-the-west-stop-a-peace-deal-in-ukraine/ Did Boris Johnson help stop a peace deal in Ukraine?], CONNOR ECHOLS, ''Responsible Statecraft'', SEP 02, 2022. responsiblestatecraft.org</ref>
