Many are asking why is Zelenskyy being so stubborn as to not give up the rest of Donbas. I ask why is Putin being so stubborn as to demanding it? Why is what he has already taken not enough?

Most hardliners in Putin’s party do not think that’s enough at all. In fact, their expectation is they will get at least half by the time things are done, with Kiev as some sort of neutral city and no longer the capital.
