naive to think Ukraine does all the negotiation ... very simplistic
of course third parties are involved because the belligerents are too close to it to be able to rationally discuss terms
terms means compromise
Ukraine are going to forego territory and Russia is going to have to withdraw from forward positions south and north that's the way it is
there will be a line of control and I predict a no fly zone enforced by NATO west of the line .. that's the way it's going to be
continue this civil war and face another 100k casualties on both sides and further global economic mayhem
end it now and Ukraine goes down in history as the giant slaying David and Russia limps away greatly humiliated and degraded Goliath.. paying a staggering cost, inflicted upon them by the brave Ukrainians
