Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested a ceasefire deal could be struck if Ukrainian territory he controls could be taken “under the NATO umbrella” - allowing him to negotiate the return of the rest later “in a diplomatic way”.

    Non starter. Pretend ceasefire while nato troops get installed in Ukraine.

    The peace deal that was scuttled by UK/US in March 2022 did include referendums to let regions join Russia or Ukraine. I don’t think the “democracy lovers” would support these any more, but it would be a genuine formula for peace, and one where Ukraine would reform its government, and could successfully hold territory if western economic help were given. The delusion with that plan is that Ukraine is only loved for its commitment to suicidal war instigation.

      Yeah cause giving away land to stop a dictator from going further has always worked.

        And we already have proof. Ukraine gave away Crimea and that only encouraged Putin to attack Ukraine again.
