2 year Ukrainian war

Wondering about a solution.

Idea, give the heathens the eastern area. Horribly.

But then form a new country with the rest. Join NATO. Read if you are at war, you can't join NATO
But new country?


Just looking for out-of-the-box ideas to end this travesty.

So lets start at the beginning of the full scale invasion. What do you think the reason was for the full scale invasion. What did Putin want or still wants? I will wait for you to answer.

4. not exactly. It was definitely talked about in the early reports.

He wanted to put in place a puppet government. And the reason why, is because he doesn't want a democratic form of government there. Now, if that is the issue, and it is, do you not see that there can be no other solution then to stop him, or to unconditionally surrender? I mean he will brutalize them one way or another assuming his military is not stopped.

7. He even sent an assassination squad after Zelensky in the early weeks.

The land borders will be decided later after he is in charge via his puppet government. There is no maybe or perhaps. This is why Ukraine has prepared for 10 years for this war knowing it was going to be all or nothing.

install a puppet government. He thinks that their democracy will be contagious and spread. Its a direct threat in his mind. He will never be satisfied with pieces of land on the eastern border. He had their government all picked out and ready to take over. It was only supposed to take 3 days. How will his tanks be stopped in your scenario. Ill let you go now.

12. Putin's demonstrated bad-faith negotiations too many times in the past.

At this point, the entire world pretty much know that any agreement he signs on to would then be as worthless and meritless as another Munich Agreement.
