There is no humanitarian reason not to be all in for a meaningful peace process that can bring forth a resolution to the war and prevent literally MILLIONS from dying. Why we are not pursuing that is nonsense. And I am going to say this unequivocally: Anyone who thinks that Putin is going to just surrender himself to The Hague as a War Criminal is nuts. He'll use nukes first. And a basic reality of our World is that the rules are different for nations that have nukes as opposed to nations that don't.
If what you’re saying about Putin is true, then why would be be interested in peace talks?
Negotiations can only work if you have reason to believe that both parties can be trusted, and there is no reason to trust Putin.
Yeah, negotiating an end to aggressions in exchange for Crimea and the separatist areas and assuming everything will be fine really gives me echoes of another situation where ceding land to an invader didn't result in peace...
