Is it Russia's objective to "capture" Ukraine?
Here are Putin's four demands/conditions to end the war:
1. Russia wants Ukraine to change its constitution to enshrine neutrality--
2. This means Ukraine could not join alliances such as Nato and the European Union.
3. Russia wants Ukraine to acknowledge that Crimea is officially Russian territory.
4. Ukraine must also recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states.
None of these demands include taking over the entire country of Ukraine.

None here it appears ever read Vlads war speech, I can see you did.
It's basically the Sudetenland maneuver that Hitler pulled on Czechoslovakia all over again.
And my demands and conditions are that they are hauled up before War Crimes tribunals, with Vlad in the docket and in the lead. In fact, if it were possible, I would recommend the death penalty for him, for Bucha and Irpin alone.
