“Three months ago, Mr. Putin’s own strategic objective was to take all of Ukraine — a task he thought he could accomplish in mere days.”
...and the NY Times bases that ‘fact’ on what, exactly?
Either Russia leaves, is driving out, or Russia will try to invade again. Any surrender of territory to Russia will only give Moscow a foothold to try another invasion in a few years. As long as countries continue supporting Ukraine, Zelensky' stated goal of driving Russia back to the previous borders stands. All the diplomatic speculation is just talk until leaders of governments change their minds.
While not publicly stated, the goal for now is to drive Russia out.
Stupid article from freepers beloved New York Times
THE CHANGING DEFINITION OF “VICTORY”
Before the war ... Ukraine recognizes the independence of the Peoples Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk, and recognizes Crimea and Sevastopol to be parts of Russia. Also, Ukraine be neutral, like Sweden and Finland.
Now ... Ukraine be a member of NATO, like Sweden and Finland, maybe also Georgia. Status of the Peoples Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk, and Crimea and Sevastopol to be determined.
The situation changed after (A) the war started and (B) Ukraine contained the Russian invasion.
Now that we are on top, it is for us to dictate terms. We have a BIG interest in preventing any gain from aggressive war. So, ceding territory is not an option.
It will end with Russia getting the majority Russian areas in the South and East and with the Globalists having taken a massive “L”.
