So far so good.

You forget 1 John 5:14 in which the disciple who understood Jesus best
gives us some much needed clarity.
Now, obviously, if we are completely in touch with God, we will not ask
anything contrary to God's will and so the verse you quote will
invariably be fulfilled. Few of us are so perfect, so it behoves us to
pray as Jesus did, "nevertheless, not my will but Thine be done".
From our point of view we might think that of course God wants the war
in the Ukraine to stop. Indeed, from our point of view it should never
have started. It has started, it shows no signs of ending swiftly and
although I decline to speculate as to why that should be so, many
possibilities do occur to me and, I am sure, can occur to you given a
little thought.
