I don't think it has been cancelled, just delayed "in light of recent world events". There are always wars though, it's just that this one gets more attention than, say, wars in Africa (which there are several of ongoing, most notably the one in Ethiopia), because this war involves white European nations. So while I get why they made that decision I don't think I agree with it. If it ends up being a delay but the game still releases like this year though that's fine.
I will say though, excluding Days of Ruin, the stories in the Advance Wars series always were ... really really stupid. I mean, I love the gameplay in these games a whole lot, but the stories? It's basically "how about we have a war for fun". Sure, eventually there is also war against evil badguys, but before that it's mostly just "war is a fun afternoon exercise!" which is tonally utterly bizarre and wrong. But I almost always care more about gameplay than story in games.
