Since progress on the battlefield has stalled, it is time for Ukraine to face reality and negotiate an end to the war with Russia. The following is a list of concessions that Ukraine should agree to, in order to end the war.
- Ukraine agrees to provide safe passage for all Russian personnel to withdraw from Ukraine, including Crimea and the entire Donbas region.
- Ukraine agrees to provide all Russian war criminals with fair trials.
- Ukraine promises to accept the trillions in war reparations needed to rebuild the infrastructure destroyed by Russia.
- Ukraine promises to repatriate all children who have been kidnapped and taken to Russia.
The following terms are in response to specific Russian security concerns, that Russia stated were the causes of this war:
- Ukraine agrees to remove anyone from the government who is found to be a member of the Nazi Party.
- Ukraine promises not to start a new war with Russia after this one is over.
- Ukraine agrees to allow people to speak Russian in their own homes if they want to.
I think it is only fair that Ukriane agrees to all of the above. Given the Russian government's reputation for magnanimity, I trust that they will be gracious enough to accept these terms. After all, it really is a no-brainer to negotiate with Russia, with its sterling history of abiding by all signed treaties.
