To be honest no one truly win all or lose all.
Everyone win some and lose some.

Ukraine ex-President who aligned to Russia lost support and lose his Government.
Ukraine current President elected by voters is aligned to the NATO.

Russia supported separatists with support from Russia annex Crimea and snatch some Eastern regions to align with Russia.

Ukraine with the rest of the regions are aligned to NATO.

So each Blocs win something and lose something.

Now with this Minsk negotiated peace, will Ukraine and the separatist and its backend supporters NATO and Russia on it respective support - think of a way to move forward with peace and stability in mind - with re-development, reconstruction, with Economic, Political and Social re-development in mind.

This is really a "compromise way to move forward" and should not remain in inertia.

Because everyone know that - when 2 Blocs support their respective sides to nudge one another out - destruction, casualties and miseries, sufferings are the outcome.

Conversely, if try to move forward with the new structure and the new outcome - constructively and not in conflict - "seeing the light out of a long tunnel" could be a more acceptable outcome.
