I posted this in another thread and might as well post it here for further discussion.

Those RED spots are contiguous land masses. Crimea is a given. Over 90% of Crimeans don't want to be Ukranians. Let them go or let them vote for the world to see.
Stop the fighting and agree to let Luhansk and Donetsk decide whether they want to be part of Ukraine or autonomous.
This is the most practical solution, which will save MOST of Ukraine, and still allow Putin a face-saving way of saying to the Russians: "Mission Accomplished", while also allowing people in regions who don't want to be Ukranians to decide their own fate.
Yugoslavia has done this, So has Czechoslovakia, So has Sudan, and so did Canada ( almost but not quite ).
The alternative is a continuation of the bloodbath.
Wise advice. Zelensky bought into "the world order" and his country and the Ukrainian people are paying the price for it.
The Biden regime will turn his country into a perpetual war zone with neo-Nazi insurgents left in the Western part of it warring with the rest of the country if he doesn't declare Ukraine a neutral state.
