in my opinion, russia would agree to compete withdrawl from ukrainian territory except for liberated religions and crimea, in exchange for ukraine calling for long-overdue free&fair elections, zelenskyy may not run for re-election, and a ceasefire for that to take place. then: let the citizens of ukraine decide their future. with french diplomatic oversight for the election. put territory on the ballot: you want to live under a flag that sells its citizens to the west for experimental drug and weapons trials - or with russia. everyone needs to stop meddling. if ukraine cannot exercise self-determination, they will end up in this same situation again -
