The foreign minister called a 10-point blueprint promoted by Kyiv ānot feasibleā, and added that a UN proposal to revive the Ukraine grain deal would not work.
They didnāt have any hope because Putin is a warmonger. Any āpeace planā that Russia would find acceptable would just delay the inevitable and give Russia time to build back up, theyāve already shown their cards. Russia needs to give up on its territorial aspirations and give back what itās stolen. Russia couldāve held onto Crimea even had it just not invaded Ukraine, the rest of the world had basically turned a blind eye to it (it wasnāt right, but that was the reality), instead they get to watch their military turn to dust, just like Putin will be doing within a decade.
Iām not saying that all, but facts on the ground were that, 2014ā2022, Russia had control of Crimea and nobody was going to do anything about that for fear of getting into conflict with Russia. That Crimea even āpassedā into Russian hands without much of a fight from the international community is probably what emboldened Putin to go after the rest of Ukraine. What Iām saying is that had he stuck to just that sort of low-level āpiecemealā approach to carving out sections of Ukraine, like what was do e with Crimea, he wouldnāt have gotten nearly the amount of international backlash that he got.
Is Crimea part of Ukraine? Yes, but when it comes to international borders, facts on the ground are what matter in the long-run. Had Putin bided his time, eventually it wouldāve just been accepted as fact. Nobody else wouldāve ever cared enough to start a war over it. With Putin going for all-out-war though, heās revealed Russiaās military weakness and facts on the ground have become mutable again, giving us the chance that weāll hopefully see Crimea come back into Ukraine.
Iām not judging who is or who isnāt a warmonger or whatever, letās just be pragmatic, it makes no sense at all for Russia to accept those terms. Were u expecting the Russian Govt. to suddenly wake up one morning feeling bad for what theyāve done and just move the troops out of Ukraine, including Crimea whoās under Russian control for over a decade now, and say āsorry, my badā? This 10 point plan they āproposedā was only made so western media can say theyāre trying to stop the war, which they arenāt. And again, Iām not saying they have to stop the war, Iām just analyzing things objectively.
Iām saying Putin can stop this war right now by going home. This is all Putinsā fault supported by oligarchs. It makes complete sense for putin to accept these terms, because he will eventually be forced to.

So youāre saying Crimea is not part of Ukraine?

What makes you believe we will eventually be forced? Do you still think our sanctions will make Russia collapse?
When the bombs are on his doorstep caused by his own ignorance.
So youāre cheering for WW3?
No. That was not the question
There are no oligarchs in Russia.
Words have meanings. An oligarch is someone who has political power through wealth.
Russia is an autocracy, and Putin allows people to be rich, so long as they donāt try to translate that into political power.
America has oligarchs, Russia just has rich people that contribute to an autocracy.
ā¦ Iām honestly not sure which is more evil as a political system.
I would say what is in the U.S. because there are more thorns that have to be removed from the rose.
