I am in no position to accept or decline peace due to conditions, Ukraine is.
Wait wait wait, so you're saying you're not Zelensky himelf? No shit.
But I do understand why they would not want a favorable deal for the dictator attacking them, historically appeasement rarely worked long term. Luckily they are also the same people volunteering to fight the war, so I can just armchair from my home and rally to keep supporting the men and women willing to fight with the one thing we can easily give, money.
It's not appeasement, it's a peace treaty based on the outcome of the war. Appeasement would be if we'd given Putin everything he wants before earning it through conquest as he has. Doesn't matter how you feel about Putin, Russia has successfully occupied Ukraine's East and Ukraine doesn't have the ability to take it back.
The front lines have been stagnant for 3 years. The calculation is simple. Accept reasonable concessions now, or accept similar or worse concessions later while dying more. Pick your poison.
