Russia won't agree to anything that isn't the complete capitulation of Ukraine and Zelenskyy being replaced with a Russia-friendly
puppetleader.Having a plan out there in public isn't just about the plan, it's also a message to Russia that Ukraine (and Zelenskyy) aren't making it up as they go along and that this is what they intend to do if the Russians don't
idit' na h-ygo home.I've got a 1 point plan. Load up Ukraine for as long as it takes to send Russia home with its tail between its legs.
A better plan would be for the rest of the world to unite and send forces to drive Russia out of Ukraine. Show that invading countries won't be tolerated.
It won't happen for a ton of reasons that don't even involve nukes, because the world sucks. But that would be the one effective way to end the invasion.
Agreed. The UN should have put a stop to it with boots on the ground in the ideal world we don't live in.
I guarantee Americas military industrial complex lobbied day and night to ensure the piecemeal quagmire and perpetual subscription were chosen over the "1 week annihilation of all Russian forces within Ukraines borders".
20 Point plan:
Sure, but this puts them in the position of refusing to end the war
A lot of those clauses depend on the EU, UK and USA doing things like offering security guarantees and entry into the EU.....
Have these been agreed???
This is probably the proposal that came out of the Berlin talks last week.
The big question on security guarantees is how to enforce them. Ukraine already has security guarantees from US, UK and Russia, but look what happened. Nobody cares.
The promising part about this proposal is, that it proposes a tripwire force, but is that sufficient?
I'm a bit confused, does this mean Ukraine is ceding territory to Russia?
No, this means that the current front is accepted to be the starting point for negotiation. This is a standard method of freezing the status quo during a ceasefire, pending further talks about a long-term solution.
IANAL but I think this means the conflict gets frozen along those lines without ceding this territory to Russia. If Russia violates the terms and conflict gets reignited Ukraine will in their right to try to recover this territory.
If Ukraine would cede this territory then attacking it in eventual future conflicts would mean that Ukraine is actually invading Russia.
