re: #254 No Malarkey!
Its not up to the West to accept or reject it, its up to Ukraine. My counteroffer would be that the Russian army leave every inch of Ukraine now, before they die there.
It is up to the West whether to intervene militarily or not (directly or indirectly), and in the economic sense, how far to go with sanctions and for how long. Those have a great bearing on what the Ukraine can do
