Putin was offered "peace deal" framework before G20 meeting
Source: Ukrainska Pravda
On the eve of the G20 summit, one of the intermediary countries in communication with both Russia and Ukraine handed Russian President Vladimir Putin the framework for a possible "deal" for direct negotiations.
In short, the essence of the proposal was that the occupied and already annexed territories in the south and east of the country would return to Ukraine, including Donbas. But the issue of Crimea would be taken off the table. For Russia, this is fundamental to the so-called Putin legacy. Therefore the deal envisaged a freeze on any talk about the status of the peninsula for seven years. Also on any talk of Ukraine joining NATO."

(111,261 posts)Putin thinks he's fighting the equivalent convlict that we'd have if California seceded, taking its large population and economy with it. He's bonkers, of course, Ukraine has been its own country on paper for over 100 years and now with a sense of itself since 2014.
There is really no room for compromise.
My best guess says they'll talk peace after Russia has retreated or has been kicked back across their border (depending on whee you read your news) and are taking pot shots across the border at each other. Only then will there be room for negotiations.

(111,261 posts)but they didn't sign the agreement to stay within the Russian sphere after 1991. Chechnya, the 'Stans, Azerbaijan, and Belarus did. They were a separate SSR thanks to Lenin, who realized they'd be a thorn in his side if he didn't, and as long as they were an SSR, he didn't care how separate they were on paper.
That's why my post specified on paper.

(621 posts)Unless Russia keeps all the territory it claims to have annexed and Ukrainian forces leave those areas, then Putin will not go for it. That is why the screams for " peace negotiations" are not based in reality. The people who keeping calling for them know this too. They are not acting in good faith. Their only interest is that Russia doesn't lose.

This is NOT appeasement or ALL peace talks are appeasement arent they?
How do folks know its appeasement before looking at the contract??
But carry on with the warrage, its par for the course, be not deprived!
