Approaching the end but without a time limit, this statement leaves quite a bit of room for flexibility.

ME News report: May 30 (UTC+8). Judging from the situation on the special military operation front, there is reason to believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is nearing its end, but given the continued fighting, it is not possible to set a specific deadline for the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Putin said that the Russian side’s strikes on the Kyiv region are a response to the Ukrainian forces’ attacks on the Luhansk region, and that the Russian military is launching an offensive across the entire special military operation area.
