How do you negotiate with the Russians given Putin’s recently announced demand for unconditional surrender? And why is there always the demand for the Ukrainians to compromise and never for the Russians?
There should be unconditional surrender.
I would also bet that Russia wouldn't take territory (or very little) if Ukraine pledges to stay neutral and out of NATO.
The demand arose because the governments of the US and Ukraine are as phony and corrupt as a $3 bill.
Look to Biden and Zelensky for the blame. Their power and control play has cost many thousands of lives on both sides of the war.
This is no rocket science, you know what salvage is right? think of it like that, salavage the situation or die? I think the choice is quite easy. Only way for Ukriane to win is for US to send toops and fight and it still will not go their way like in vietnam ...now is the time for negoration freeze current lines of contact before it get completely out of hand.
What is the problem with surrender? Why should a winner compromise?
