Still with the delusions and non-equivalent analogies I see. What exactly do you propose as a reasonable compromise? If I were living in the four Russian occupied oblasts, given what has happened, I would not want to be sacrificed to the Russian Federation for the sake of peace. Putin is demanding that his agenda be ratified with no possibility of compromise. How exactly are you going to come up with a solution that takes into account the very real people living under his cruel occupation?

You might want to read Inna Kirichenko’s article today, Dedicated to Rospropaganda, which gives a real Ukrainian’s view on what you propose. Russia has nothing to offer the Ukrainians, Therefore they simply cannot sacrifice any of their citizens and the territory they live on to Russia as a compromise. There is nothing to negotiate until Putin withdraws. Maybe some concession could be made about the amount and timing of war reparations, but that is about it. Maybe Ukraine could agree to remain apart from NATO like they did previously (and we all know how that worked out) or enter into another security agreement with Russia like they did in Budapest in 1994. Oh, that’s right, Russia violated it when they invaded Crimea in 2014 and Ukraine in 2022. A new agreement would not be worth the paper it was printed on. What exactly can be negotiated? Why don’t we leave it up to the Ukrainians to decide what they will and will not do while we continue to provide the means for them to defend themselves. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
