That is actually a good solution. WW II ended with one side completely defeated and helpless. But that probably won’t happen here. Both sides need to save face. Ukraine gets back all the land it recently lost. Russia gets Crimea.
It makes sense. Heck, I just might nominate you for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Crimea is Russian. Full stop. If the world didn’t obstinately refuse to recognize it, we probably wouldn’t be where we are right now.
