I completely disagree. Russia should receive nothing for what they have done.

Imagine this, Russia decides that Alaska is theirs even though it was sold to the U.S. in 1867. They invade and make it half way into the state. Should the U.S. have peace talks with Russia and say you can have half the state or keep fighting and push them completely out? I guessing most Americans would say F off Russia, get out of our country.

Russia leaving Ukraine is the only justifiable outcome from this invasion. If a child breaks his siblings toy maliciously, you don’t reward them for doing a bad thing. You punish that child for their actions. Putin is nothing more than a spoiled child, you shouldn’t reward him for his bad behavior.

Just curious, what do you think should be on the table at the peace talks?

For me, it should be the following:

Russia leaves Ukraine including Crimea and vows to never invade again. I know it didn’t work when Ukraine gave up their nukes for the same vow but one can hope.

Russia pays Ukraine back for all the damage it has done. They were the aggressors, they need to pay up.

All prisoners who were taken to Russia, including children, are to be returned.

No interference if Ukraine wants to join NATO and the EU.

I’m not an expert in peace talks, but I feel the above is fair.
