Ukraine had a negotiated agreement with Russian in 1994 in which Russia promised to protect Ukraine’s borders.

That was broken in 2014.

Then they broke it again.

Putin signified what he wanted when he sent paratroopers and an armoured column to capture Kyiv.

If you give him territory in Donbas today, then in a few years he will come back for more.

This is no difference than the munich conference — or do you think giving Nazi Germany the Sudentenland really stopped World war II?

If anything, it made it worse.

Comparing Putin to Adolph is a cheap debating trick—college sophomore stuff—nothing to do with the reality on the ground.

It is time for the adults to arrive and cut a deal.

Minsk Accords? Was that where, after the Maidan Coup, Ukraine promised some autonomy to the eastern, ethnic Russian states and instead, they launched a war on them? Or are you thinking of something else?
