Russia will stop 'in a moment' if Ukraine meets terms – Kremlin
ITT &quot;Russia cannot be trusted&quot; yet putin has been a man of his word from the start .. he warned of consequences for eastward nato expansion.<p>We knew locking ukraine out of nato was always the goal. No reason to think this isn&#x27;t genuine. War is expensive and messy, we know it&#x27;s not going well for Russia. They want to achieve their goals fast and get out.<p>I&#x27;m sure Ukraine will reject at first, and Russia will respond with more destruction. &quot;We&#x27;ll keep wrecking you until you submit&quot;. We may see the 40 mile long convoy start moving again.<p>Honestly I&#x27;m not sure what&#x27;s the best option here. Should Ukrainians keep resisting and dying in hopes they can outlast putin? Or should they submit, saving lives in the short term but validating the invasion?<p>Edit: I think the west is going to pressure Ukraine into zero tolerance resistance. It&#x27;s very bad for &quot;world order&quot; if putin gets away with this, lest other nations start getting funny ideas..<p>In which case Ukraine may become perpetually war torn. Russia sits and holds eastern regions and just keeps bombarding the rest of Ukraine in a game of chicken with western intervention.
