1. For at least a week, Russia has not gained ground in Ukraine, while the Ukrainians have made minor advances.

2. It is the losing side – Putin – that should come up with peace proposals, while the winning side should march forward to greater victory.
"Russia has increasingly focused on grinding down Ukraine’s military in the east in the hope of forcing Kyiv into surrendering part of the country’s territory to possibly end the war."https://t.co/QmUgiWZECW

In this article, I try to focus on what was truly historic about Biden's Warsaw speech and the what may happen next in Ukraine, why escalation would be a big mistake for Putin and what aspects of possible peace might look like. https://t.co/2V1VR4I8Jh

Right now it seems reasonable to assume Putin does not want an off ramp, he wants to destroy Ukraine. And while that's the case, there can only be one survivor, Putin or Ukraine. If Putin changes… but if anything he appears to be taking Russia deeper into confrontation. https://t.co/1I0HcsixRs

We should be clear eyed and accept that the only reason Putin may ever consider the negotiating table is because his military gambit failed.

If he'd taken Kyiv in a week the only negotiations he'd be doing would be with his own newly installed puppet government.
Throughout this thing people have treated Ukrainian autonomy like an irrelevance. Putin aims to eradicate it. The Nato-to-blame lot act as if it's not pertinent. Now commentators like to debate what fate would acceptable for them, over their heads.
