What are Zelensky's Options ?
If peace is forced upon Ukraine, Zelensky will almost certainly be removed—either before, during, or after negotiations.
His best move is to step down voluntarily, securing his personal safety while avoiding full disgrace.
If he resists too hard, he may be forcibly removed or worse.
What happens next is unfortunately inevitable at this point.
note that peace can be forced either via Russia offensives or western political force.
right now, i think Zele dont have any good options, and i mean for himself.
Well, west have tried political force, and it mostly hurt small western europe countrys more than Russia, they can still trade stuff with china and india and all soouth america countrys etc.
i dont see any possible scenario where border line between russia and ukraine would stay in same line as it was 2020, theres no way Putin (or who ever becomes leader after him if something happens to Putin) accepts "lose" situation. It would make Russia look like joke. It's like 10 year old brother saying to 5 year old brother "you give me half of your candys vooluntarely, or i just take them all, its up to you, make choise". Noow Zele is that small brother.
