Russia's motivation to come to the table and negotiate, in my opinion, is to get this war over with. It is making them look weak. My idea is to let Russia have its strategic land bridge to Crimea and give autonomy to the areas dominated by ethnic Russians. In return, Russia withdraws all of its forces and what is left of Ukraine is immediately given NATO membership. Both sides get concessions, both sides make concessions.There has to be a way.
What leverage does America have that can pressure Russia into negotiating on terms that are favourable to America or the Ukraine?
Some components of Russia's offer of peace will still be on the table.
I think the facts are, America has no intention of negotiating any peace for the Ukraine that doesn't include the defeat of Russia and the breaking up of the Russia Federation into smaller and managable pieces.
But you say you have some ideas? Really?
