Russia is going to leave ZPP as well as occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in exchange for Crimea and occupied Donbas territory as Russian territory.

That will have to be a large DMZ, through which peaceful traffic can transit. Both countries can boom economically, with the coal, nuclear energy, wheat, minerals, pipelines, and ports.

That could be an acceptable, even if regrettable, deal if the Russians could climb down from their maximalist demands.

If that happens, in the spirit of POTUS, Iwant recognition that I predicted it...

In January.

I’m sure I said it even earlier than that. There’s never been anything but a massive tar baby for Russia in trying to hold onto the depopulated parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

Mariupol to Rostov is a prize and Ukraine couldn’t afford its reconstruction. Dittos Crimea. Tough sell to Ukraine but they’ll have to concede.

Enerhodar under American protection would be a good compromise allowing Russia to withdraw without losing face. Ukraine has the expertise to out it back into commission... While Russia lacks the wherewithal. The npp will be inoperable if the russkies carry on using it as a car park.

grifter Z-ski will have to give up the nuke plant.He already has about 4 others.Electricity sharing is fine....
.
i wish Trump success.This war needs to end.
After russia clears Kursk a ceasefire may be possible.
I think Trump could get russia to give up claims on annexed but not captured territory.Russia isn’t giving any captured territory back-nor should they. Normalizing relations and ending sanctions could get them on board...
No more US dollars for ukes!
