Russia Ukraine war, page-225240

The best solution is for putin to stop hurting his country and give Ukraine back their land which he has absolutely no right to be stealing from them .

Alternatively ...... a next best could be negotiations leading to either compromise --- or a ceasefire on present lines of control with peacekeepers to ensure putin doesn't come back later . Sound fair to you ??

What putin offered was ridiculous preconditions that no-one would ever accept - demands - he wasn't , isn't open to negotiations at this stage .
If he ever is maybe something can be arranged .

Another issue is that if putin gained a victory in this war it would be repeated somewhere else later .
