I agree with you, but DC & Kiev say “Nyet.”
Zelensky and DC want Crimea and two other regions back for Ukraine.
The war must go on until these objectives are met.
The Ukraine & US formalized our “ad hoc” alliance in 2008 & 2021 with two documents being signed by both parties.
Those documents are called “US Ukraine Charter for Strategic Partnership.”
We’ve an alliance with Ukraine, an alliance many Americans don’t know or care about.
If they negotiate a peace, they might not get 40 Billion dollars, some of which will go to pay the salaries, benefits and pensions of Ukrainian government workers.
40 Billion is 40,000 payments of ONE MILLION DOLLARS EACH. It is a number so big that it is difficult to imagine.
