“The Ukrainian side has become more realistic in its approach to issues related to the neutral and non-nuclear status of Ukraine,” Medinsky wrote on Telegram on Sunday.
All meaningless until Ukraine ceding rights to Crimea and Donbas are on the table.
Moscow is demanding that Kiev officially recognize Crimea as part of Russia and the republics in Donbass as independent states. Crimea voted to leave Ukraine and rejoin Russia shortly after the 2014 Maidan coup in Kiev. During the recent talks in Istanbul the Ukrainian delegation promised that Kiev won’t be making attempts to return the Donbass republics by force, and suggested holding separate negotiations on the status of Crimea over the course of 15 years.
The US has no say in the peace talks, we aren't even invited. Zelensky needs to face reality before Biden throws him under the bus. Might be too late by then.This seems to indicate that the two sides are getting close. Russia's priorities are practically satisfied by this statement.
Returning the Crimea to the Ukraine is impossible for Russia to agree upon, due to their Navy base there. This attempt by the US to wrestle it away from Russia was always a bridge too far, that resulted in a worse situation than the peaceful status quo that existed.
The Donbass region isn't so certain and can be satisfied by an agreement of neutrality.
Russia will take the entire Ukraine before it will give up the Crimea. If America desires to keep this war going to deplete Russia's strength at the cost of Ukrainian lives, then the Crimea is the gambit that can guarantee that.
This is a war between America and Russia and that makes the stakes much higher than is being appreciated.
The Russian people are totally behind Putin, as we are now being informed.
Are Americans with Biden on winning this war?
The outcome will decide two major issues.
Either the end of US/Nato encroachment toward Russia's borders
or
The partioning and disintegration of the Russian state.
Unless the Ukraine decides to govern it's own future without outside interference. There never was a good reason for the Ukraine's ethnic civil war against the parts of their country in question.
Maybe something very big will happen to break the logjam. Let's all hope it's not nuclear!

Nope, the US is not invited to any peace talks involving Russia. Ukraine can't win, sooner later the American people will get bored with this Eurotrash squabble and remember domestic issues.The US is guaranteeing Zelensky a win.
Is that what you tried to say?

Thanks for voicing your opinion. At the moment at least it's as valid as any other.I'm betting that the Ukrainians won't accept Russian demands, and they would be right to reject a peace treaty.
I wouldn't consider any of that valid. There are too many indications that Russia is willing to settle with much less than the entire Ukraine. Russia has withdrawn its forces back from anything appearing to be a siege on Kiev. That seems to be in the interest of facilitating peace talks.Putin won't stop his aggression until he is put down. No concession will appease Putin as his desire is to rebuild the Russian empire.
Ukraine can win but it's not something I wish to lay out in detail.Nope, the US is not invited to any peace talks involving Russia. Ukraine can't win, sooner later the American people will get bored with this Eurotrash squabble and remember domestic issues.

Whether or not Russia is being defeated and that's the reason for the drawback, is still undetermined. I'm of the opinion that Russia never did make a serious attempt to take Kiev. Most reports by the MSM in the US show the people going about their business, rather than it being a city under siege.
Russia's part in the war now will be hand to hand combat in the cities that are contested.
Some years back they gave an area of land called the Sunderland to someone very similar to Putin. The hope was they would appease that asshole and that a larger war would be averted. Appeasement doesn't work.
LOL! The Sudetenland?
