peace is easy.. Russia leaves and there is peace.
Anything else = war continues until Russia leaves later. Either way Russia leaves.
LFG
There is only one way to defeat a people occupying land that refuse to leave. You have to kill them all. And since no one is willing to do that type of war anymore, Russia is doomed to lose, it is just a matter of time and money.
There are millions of Russian ethnics that live outside the Russian Federation but in the territory that was the Soviet Union.
The cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg do not have the jobs or the housing to accommodate them.
Putin needs to be sure that Russian ethnics can remain and prosper where they now reside without discrimination.
You may think of a passport as merely an expensive ID, but it really says mess with me at your peril.
When I traverse a foreign land, my US passport implies the full military might of the USA may be applied to provide for my safety.

They’re not going to just leave and Ukraine doesn’t have the strength to drive them out. Now what are we supposed to do about it?
