Negotiations have been tried many times over. Russia simply uses ceasefires as an opportunity to rearm, and tries again later. Which isn't surprising, as their goal is clearly to take land and resources and subjugate the population. War is profitable for Russia too.
This is exactly like negotiating with a thief. Their goal is simply to take your stuff. Nothing you give up in negotiations will change that.
Frankly this type of anti-military sentiment is just the right wing version of Defund The Police, and equally misguided. Bad people, and bad countries, exist in the world. The only long term solution is to defeat them.
Ukraine can’t win. Their only hope is a ceasefire. If they continue they will only lose more territory.
Ukraine provoked Russia by trying to join EU and NATO. That was a redline for Russia and Putin since 1997

But they can't admit Ukraine to NATO. Can they?
And really if they want to escalate this situation with Russia, what's better way then including Ukraine to NATO list.
reply
Absolutely not. If Ukraine joins NATO, Putin will go nuclear

There is Trump derangement syndrome and now Russia and Putin derangement syndrome.
Russia derangement syndrome is more serious. Wrong decision will have deadly consequences for NATO and Europe and Ukraine.
