Seems like, with the benefit of hindsight, Zelensky's crusade against negotiations was a bad idea. His decree remains in place, right? Recall the Russian offer of ceasefire just before Soledar? How did Ukraine respond to this offer? Another bad decision.
But yeah, surely if you keep repeating the mantra, it will eventually come true. You should get this message to the conscripts dealing with the brunt of Russian capabilities, they would be glad to hear it: the Russian Army is exhausted and it is in no condition to continue.
