In fact the only people that will win in this war are all outside of Russia. Even if the Russians obtain their goals they will have an Afghanistan like resistance forever.
And have lost the connections to the rest of the world.
This is true if they try to take over all Ukraine. Putin must be content with his slice where mostly Russian Speakers live, to take more would be foolish. Too many have died. Give peace a chance—even if it leans Russia gets a piece of the pie. These questions can be addressed in the future—not worth losing cities in an exchange of bombs.
Agree, a deal must be made.
