I'm not 100% sure but that just might be because of the Russian invasion and occupation my guy. Just a hunch.
we go around and around over why Russia invaded. in 2025 we have a lot more information then we did in when Russia invaded. the narrative that Russia is imperialistic and wants to invade Europe is heavily eroded. we are expected to believe a country that resolved close to 7000 border disputes with its eastern neighbors had no desire to resolve issues on its western front, even though it was culturally more western aligned. it simply does not add up. We have USAID and US foreign policy all over Ukraine with Georgia acting as a microcosm.
How do you imagine a conversation with russia would go? Russian terms for peace are essentially that you become a vassal state like belarus
I think Ukraine has had several wasted opportunities - Russia's position has not changed, other then to now concede, or well, last year, to concede that Ukraine can join the EU. That might now be off the table. As the war drags on the terms will get worse and worse - something outlined previously.
