To little, too late. The definition of Stupidity: 1) NATO 2) Collective West.
It is obvious today that the Ukies should have began negotiations a long time ago, instead the brain dead Ukies put their trust in a brain dead, senile old man.
Fact is this war ends when Vlad says so, Unconditionally, to stop the western war cheerleaders from ever pulling a stupid stunt like this ever again.
There’s no trust there. Since 2014 Ukraine has been a situation of mutually assured blackmail between corrupt US and NATO officials (see whose relative have no-jobs in Ukraine) and Ukranian kleptocrats (see who has fancy houses elsewhere) with the underpinnings of destroying Russia as one of the last obstacles to global neofeudalism (and all the other evil **** they have done and still do).
They proceed because they have to proceed because the personal consequences if the truth came out are absolute.
“The Ukies” elected this the same way we “elected” to have our country invaded and subverted, the same way the Europeans “elected” a bunch of people who are trying to simultaneously starve and replace them.
