Steven BeschlossVladimir Putin is a murderous thug who launched a war in Ukraine a year ago to steal Ukrainian sovereignty and end their democracy by committing mass murder and terrorizing destruction. But sure, tell me again how Zelensky and the Ukrainians should negotiate for peace with him.
ramshackle@StevenBeschloss Theoretically, because they still hold a decent amount of Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. And despite the incredible incompetence of Russian military leadership this war is costing the Ukrainian people a lot more than the Russians. But that's all pretty moot since neither side politically is in a position where they can negotiate. So more bloodshed it is.
