"If Russia has a winning position why would they need to negotiate?"
They are occupying the Russian speaking part of Ukraine which is probably why they invaded in the first place; that and maybe to keep NATO from moving nuclear weapon onto their southwest border and blocking them from their Mare Nostrum.

Well, at least you admitted that Russia invaded Ukraine.

What does “Russian speaking” have to do with it? Somehow that gives Russia a legit excuse?

And NATO is a *defensive* alliance. Countries apply of their own accord. And they join because Russian imperialism is a threat to their very lives. The full-scale invasion is precisely why Norway & Sweden have joined. NATO is not the threat. *Russia* is the threat.

Let’s ask the Circassians whether Russia is a good neighbor or not.

Oh wait. We can’t. Because Russia slaughtered them and they no longer exist.

I suppose the Holodomor was just a diet program that was a wee bit too aggressive. And Katyn was a big cookout with too much vodka.

You enable Russian imperialism. You’re no different than Chomsky.
