g. What "WE (you) ALREADY KNOW" is complete BS.
Putin set down his terms in December 2021. He wanted Ukraine to remain neutral and not join NATO.
Had we not sent the CIA in previously to overthrow the duly elected government of Ukraine, nor started the process to get Ukraine into NATO & put nuclear missiles aimed at Russia on their border this war never would have happened.
He set the same terms shortly after the initial invasion, and Ukraine came close to agreeing to those terms at which point Russia was prepared to pull back out.
Tragically, Boris Johnson from the UK flew to Ukraine, apparently at the behest of the US, and insisted that Zelensky back out of their tentative agreement. He was promised that NATO had his back.
He F'd up. He trusted NATO. The US & NATO wanted to use Ukraine in a proxy war to degrade Russian economic and military strength, but they badly miscalculated, all to the detriment of Ukraine & to a lesser extent to the western nations backing Ukraine & goading them into this catastrophe for their country.
Now Russia will be insisting on keeping the 4 eastern, ethnic Russian oblasks that voted to secede from Ukraine and become a part of Russia.
They do not want all of Ukraine. They just want security for themselves and to be left alone.
