Difficult to forecast.
There are rumblings today that Russia wants to reopen discussions with Ukraine.
Possibly as a result of severe sanctions imposed by global leaders and the Russian market collapse.

The invasion is likely to trigger a new wave of "full scale" sanctions aimed at President Vladimir Putin's inner circle and Russia's oil-dependent economy.
That will hit hard. If it continues the trend over the next week, I would expect immediate talks to bring the invasion to an end.

The Moscow stock exchange had suspended trading earlier on Thursday but when dealing resumed, stocks went into free-fall. 
The MOEX index plunged as much as 45% before recovering slightly to close down 33%, while the RTS index — which is denominated in dollars — ended the day with losses of 39%.
The crash wiped about $70 billion off the value of Russia's biggest companies.

Biden issues statement on NATO meeting
“As President Putin threatens the very foundations of international peace and security, NATO is once again demonstrating that it stands for freedom and democracy,” the President said in a statement.
Biden again pledged the US would defend NATO territory.
"We were joined today by our close partners Sweden, Finland, and the European Union,” the statement reads. “President Putin has failed in his goal of dividing the West. NATO is as united and resolute as it’s ever been, and NATO will maintain its Open Door to those European states who share our values and who one day may seek to join our Alliance.”
"I also conveyed to Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelensky the ongoing economic, humanitarian, and security support being provided by the United States as well as our continued efforts to rally other countries to provide similar assistance,” Biden wrote.

That lasted long, Ruble gains big today. Maybe Sleepy can give us free oil like he did with all those checks he handed out. At this rate it's going to cost me about $20 a week to mow my lawn this year.

Will this mean Trump's hotel deal in Moscow will be put on hold again?

The alternative being the "fringe media" like InfoWars and Gateway.pundit and Q-Anon.
Binary choice: either
mainstream media
or
fringe media like the ones you mentioned and others similar
It does appear that those on the left and center prefer mainstream media over the fringe.
