The war ends when the Neocons (in the US and Europe) FULLY UNDERSTAND that Russia is not interested in a cease fire, just to have the fight the war again (and against NATO troops), be it in 10 years, 5 years, 1 year, 1 month, or 1 week.
Russia wants this war CONCLUDED, and following the Finland model during WW2, which includes the following:
1. Internationally recognized border changes
2. Ukrainian neutrality - no NATO, no foreign troops
3. Strong limits on the size and composition of Ukraine’s military and its weapons.
4. De-Nazification
For you Zeepers, this is NOT my wish list - so STOP attacking the messenger (as you clowns do non-stop here), this is what RUSSIA has said from Day 1, and they have not changed, other than in the location of the borders, as the Neocons fired longer range missiles from Ukraine.
If not agreement on the above, Russia continues to fight on, and it’s unlikely Ukraine will exist as a country when the war is over.
And, again, Zeepers, this is what the RUSSIANS are saying, not what the “Putinistas” are saying.
And, by the way, the Russians are also quite clear that if the Neocons really want a nuclear war with Russia, they’ll get that nuclear war with Russia.
Well, the problem is that 2 and 3 leave Ukraine in the position of a sheep to be slaughtered and 4 is just plain cuckoo.
It is Russia that needs De-Putinization to end this war & invasion. Hopefully this pos will die soon. Then we will see brainwashed Russian morons out in the streets crying over their dear leaders demise. Same as in North Korea when Kim Jung Il croaked. The women were out there bawling their eyes out.
Even if Ukraine were to concede on the first two points, it could never on the last two. Limitations on its military would leave it defenseless against further Russian attacks. "De-Nazification" is code for elimination of Ukrainian nationalism, reducing Ukraine to an appendage of Russian culture. And it was these demands, not Boris Johnson, that prevented a deal in Istanbul. They are demands for total surrender. With such demands Ukraine will keep fighting, even if Zelensky were removed.
