    The primary one is that they already had a deal with Russia and Russia broke it in 2014 and then again in 2022. So why would anyone believe that another deal would stick?

    Agreed, it is not wise to just give up land. It has to be accompanied by solid security measures and guarantees. As I said in another comment, there has to be a diplomatic solution after a ceasefire.

    They’d just take time to regroup and be back a few years later.

    So can Ukraine. Ukraine can also make use of the time.

    That’s like making a deal with a burglar saying that they can keep what they stole as long as they get out of the house.

    Yes, because he has a gun to my head. I will gladly let them take my whole house if that happened.

          You’ve said yourself that if you’re at gunpoint, you’d let them have your home. Which means you’d let them rape and murder your family.

            Problem with this comparison is that family and house are different. And it cannot be extrapolated to a country because of the sheer size of it.
