@sebastiang7394 well, let me break down your proposal: 1. ruSSia already ANNEXED more territory than just Crimea and some east. They literally changed their constitution. It's against the law to surrender their territories. So they basically cornered themselves. 2. Giving any land = reward for nuclear threats, which will only cause more wars and suffering. If they get at least some of what they set out to do and even sanctions lifted, why not rinse and repeat? They've done this... 2014-15 turned into 2022. Why wouldn't some other rogue state try the same? Say, Iran. 3. What guarantees are you talking about? NATO membership? No other guarantee is worthy enough. 4. You seem to think of occupied Ukraine just as "land" but there are people suffering and betraying them means they are stuck in this hell forever. 5. Ukraine would never recover because there would never be foreign investments because there'd be no peace... Constant threat of ruSSo aggression. We've already been through this since 2014. So your proposal is only good about reparations. Everything is ludicrous and doesn't help Ukraine

@sebastiang7394 you just don't get it, do you? History clearly proved that ruSSia just wants to expand the empire. Go read again what I listed. Ceasefire won't stop the suffering and deaths because ruSSia will rinse and repeat. They already have done this multiple times. There will not be any issues with "local support for Russia". They'll run away to their beloved ruSSia and the rest of the people just want to live in a country with institutions and laws. They've all been suffering since 2014. And yes, if you take away the Auschwitz type of crimes, this war isn't much different than Hitler's war to expand his empire.

@sebastiang7394 huh? What border? Who will "secure" the border under your proposal? ruSSia #1 demand is demilitarization of Ukraine and no. NATO. I can only laugh at your last proposal. They WERE given terms of what will happen if they push further on February24. They are not rational and don't care about any terms and agreements. THAT is the root problem! This isn't like a "normal" country you'd expect to honor agreements, etc. This is not much different than a gang just doing what they want.
