War is always just the prelude to diplomacy. Gotta wonder how many more people will die before talking starts.
The war would have been over almost as soon as it started had talks not been sabotaged by parties with no real skin in the game hoping to use the war to weaken Russia, which doesn’t seem to have done much on that front other than inspired a war economy shift, which now has led Russia to out produce all of Europe combined, and led to the deaths of thousands and thousands of people.
But he did, and now the best we can hope for is Ukraine being willing to come to the negotiation table with Russia.
The best outcome would be for Russia to withdraw. Something Russia can do tomorrow.
I don’t think that would in fact be the best. A negotiated settlement will likely include funding for rebuilding damaged infrastructure, among other things. A unilateral withdraw would not.
