No treaty will be signed before at least the Russian annexation of the East and Odessa. Anything less is unacceptable to Moscow's geopolitical goals and national security.
And how does that have anything to do with the topic at hand? WhataboutismSays the great grandson of Mao.
Then Russia will suffer more and more losses and will become a 3rd world country until it completely falls apartNo treaty will be signed before at least the Russian annexation of the East and Odessa. Anything less is unacceptable to Moscow's geopolitical goals and national security.
The word from Istanbul is that Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle on a peace treaty.
No details are available at this time, but Zelenskyy and Putin supposedly will meet and sign the treaty in Istanbul at a date to be agreed upon.
Last week Zelenskyy said that any negotiated treaty would be put before the Ukrainian people in a referendum.
The only thing I've seen on this is a Tweet, purportedly from Israel, that says the draft is advanced far enough that Putin may be willing to talk to Zelensky. Based on the tweet, there is still disagreement about Crimea.The word from Istanbul is that Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle on a peace treaty.

Unsubstantiated (and false) accusations“National security”. *L* Says another one of Putin’s Pals.
If this happens, Putin will declare victory. He will say that it is all he wanted all along and the war could have been avoided if Zelensky had just agreed to it in the first place, and his Russian subjects will declare him the great hero of the state, and he will demand an immediate end to all sanctions.
"3rd world country" doesn't mean anything now, and when it did it was ****ing dark.Then Russia will suffer more and more losses and will become a 3rd world country until it completely falls apart
Russia is still hanging out around Kyiv, and still brutalising Maripoul. It is still occupying most of the southern coast almost to Odessa. I don't hear this in the 'draft,' but I don't think Russia has any intention of walking away without a land bridge to Crimea and probably most of the coast. All the other places it is still invading or holding territory outside the Donbas just ties down the Ukranian army from going there in strength and driving the Russians out. Dammit.
Wars used to be about money. Now they're about fossil fuels.As some already knew, the real reason for the invasion is about Russia seizing Ukraine's oil and gas.

They've been about fossil fuels for awhile now, and part of that is because the value of money is connected to them.Wars used to be about money. Now they're about fossil fuels.
Developing THORIUM fueled fission plants would be a remarkable leap forward.They've been about fossil fuels for awhile now, and part of that is because the value of money is connected to them.
Which is, IMO, why we need to try and get alternatives in place.
Including nuclear power plants. Fission plants.
I recall you were unaware of successful Ukrainian offensives many days old at that, where they bagged a lot of RussiansNo treaty will be signed before at least the Russian annexation of the East and Odessa. Anything less is unacceptable to Moscow's geopolitical goals and national security.
Yes, I do remember the successful offensives where they captured abandoned villages not even on the map. Truly world shattering.I recall you were unaware of successful Ukrainian offensives many days old at that, where they bagged a lot of Russians
Now you know what Putin will accept.
Where do you think all this came from.Yes, I do remember the successful offensives where they captured abandoned villages not even on the map. Truly world shattering.
Russia cannot hold the land bridge, a long line of Russians protecting and area that size from attack. The Russian units are worn, tired, undermanned, and a lot of destroyed kitRussia is still hanging out around Kyiv, and still brutalising Maripoul.

Janfu, the Russians continue to fight for Maripoul. Why, if they do not intend to keep it?Russia cannot hold the land bridge, a long line of Russians protecting and area that size from attack. The Russian units are worn, tired, undermanned, and a lot of destroyed kit
Zelenskyy will never agree to a Russian land bridge.
