If you hate European civilization you want to prolong this war. If you want thousands more dead Russians and Ukrainians you want to prolong this war. Otherwise why not negotiate?
It may be the Russians are content with occupying the SE corner of Ukraine. The rest of Ukraine will continue to exist as an independent state outside of NATO. I think this is the best solution.
Russia is not our primary enemy and the U.S. is not the world’s policeman. We shouldn’t be spending billions fueling this conflict.
The Russians are hardening their position while Ukraine may not have a lot of maneuvering room left.

The Russians are willing to negotiate.
For goodness' sake, negotiate! For the fifth time since 2008, Russia has proposed to negotiate with the U.S. over security arrangements, this time in proposals made by President Vladimir Putin on June 14, 2024. Four previous times, the U.S. rejected the offer of negotiations
