    There is a very easy solution to that, available exclusively to Russia.

    Not really. While only Russia can revert troops and say “oh you know we were wrong, we remove every soldier and pay reparations forever and ever, we’re deeply sorry, never again”, this is obviously not going to happen.

    Russia did suggest many, many peace talks, and it never yielded anything, with Ukrainian side outright refusing further diplomacy. Yes, concessions have to be made to reach peace, but the peace is entirely possible, and Russia doesn’t mind it.

      Did you not follow the peace talks at the time? Fuck, do you not remember Zelenskyy’s initial offering of peace terms?
