Are you claiming that invasion and occupation is a valid path to changing borders? If it isn't then the only borders that are valid are the pre-2014 borders.The major point of the peace talks would be how to define “Ukraine”. As long as Kiev insists that it means pre-2014 borders, there won’t be peace, because they’re chasing an old order that simply doesn’t exist anymore.
You think Ukraine that needs to get realistic about things, not Russia?Even if the Russian did withdraw, the Ukrainian army would face a rifle behind every blade of grass if it tried to retake those territories. That is not idle speculation; that is what actually happened in Donbas after the Euromaiden coup. What is needed for an end to the war is rational Ukrainian leadership, and that requires rational behavior on part of the Western powers that prop up the Ukrainian government.
