    The problem is as you pointed out, it is uncertain what the Russian people or oligarchs will do. In my proposal, the war will end either with Putin accepting the offer or Britain and France joining the war and ending it.

      I would prefer not to trade certainty for justice, to be honest. Some things are worth fighting for, and the concept of small state sovereignty is one of them.

        But is that how Ukrainians feel after 4 years of fighting? Someone recently posted an article in this community about Ukrainian troops deserting.

          I think it is. Russian troops have been deserting the whole time (or getting zeroed). The Ukrainians still aren’t polling as wanting the war to end asap no matter what, and they’d need a huge percentage of the population in agreement before you could make a constitutional amendment.

            Both sides are exhausted. Zelensky would present the peace proposal to the Ukrainian people before he accepts it.
