I think this is a troll to some degree. The Russians won't give up their gains on Mariupol. Their position will consolidate, and then they will take the position that we offered this but that is offer is withdrawn. Our offer now to take (whatever they control at the time) is reasonable. You can accept peace now, or lose more territory and accept peace later.
The Russians don’t have Mariupol after bombing it consistently for almost 2 weeks. And Mariupol people don’t want to be part of Russia. That’s why they haven’t surrendered despite the massive destruction caused by Russia.
i agree very much about mariupol. ethnically russian areas, essentially, a broader eastern Ukraine, would be a reasonable ask by Putin.
Indeed. Why should any normal American care whose flag flies over any city in the Ukraine?
