That's not on the table. Putin will never do that, were tired of Europe and Ukraine pretending like it is.

- 4ndrewl 2y agoWhat exactly is on the table? Putin will just stop? Don't make me laugh. You know his stated aims right?
- brink 2y agoLooks like we'll have to find out who's right.
- bigyabai 2y agoStrictly speaking, Ukraine already knows who's wrong. If Russia could be trusted without a security guarantee then the math might add up differently. There will never be another Minsk agreement though, with or without the US at the table. It's pathetic that any credible military leader would attempt to push that a second time.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoAs you state, peace with Putin in not on the table. Your way is to grant him his every ambition, whatever that may be (historically taking territory piece by piece, be it in Georgia or Ukraine). The sanner way is to defeat Putin so that he is forced to stop now, not pause and continue his ambition after he heals some wounds. As you admit, Putin will NEVER not carry out his ambitions.
- chabes 2y agoIt could absolutely be on the table. The economy of Russia can only take so much of this war. Putin has little choice now. Trump is pretty much the only reason Russia will be able to keep up their attempted invasion.
