As long as Russia remains intent on achieving unacceptable outcomes, accompanied by hints of nuclear saber rattling, reaching a compromise will be difficult. Putin is far from an ideal partner with whom to attempt to reconcile the two key principles of international law: the right of a people to self-determination and the sanctity of national borders.
只要俄罗斯试图实现不可实现的结果，并且祭出虚张声势的核暗示，形成妥协就十分困难。普京绝不是可以试图与之协调国际法两大关键原则（民族自决权和国界神圣不可侵犯）的理想伙伴。但这样做也不是不可能。
