Negotiations don't exist for Russia, they are known for breaking all agreements anyways. Russia is not trustworthy in the slightest, they have never missed to prove that. You don't push the trigger on a loaded gun and hope for it to not fire. If you believe otherwise you desperately need to get out of you bubble and drink less Vodka.
Russian people killing Putin is the only way to end this sooner.
Putin-fanboys love to say “Ukraine needs to negotiate an end to this war” but like to forget that this war started because RuZZia shat on a treaty ensuring the sovereignty of Ukraine in exchange for their nuclear arms.
Why do liberals always like to forget the Minsk agreements? Like they are always being taken out of the conversation.
The first agreement collapsed due to the seperatist taking over an airport in Donetsk and saying they won't follow it anymore.
The second Minsk agreement basically said "Stop fighting and Ukraine gets full control of the seperatist areas after elections and a special territory status for the areas". After offering them the special status the seperatists just said no.
It doesn't matter that Russia's word can't be trusted.
Push Russia back to the border so that their invasion isn't rewarded, negotiate a ceasefire, then almost immediately make Ukraine a (defacto) NATO member, protect their airspace, no fly zone, arm them to the teeth.
The Russians are far better at keeping their word, when they know that they are weak, and that it benefits them.
