So what is YOUR suggestion? Currently putin is spending draftees wholesale in assaults on Bakhmut, shelling towns and villages on the Ukranian side of a several hundred mile long line of conflict, attacking cities far from any fighting with missiles and drones in an attempt to destroy critical infrastructure and terrorize the civilian populations...what do YOU think it would take to have him stop?
Ukraine has not been destroyed, putin shows no sign of wanting a cease fire, truce, or peace deal. What would bring him to the table, and more importantly, what would make him live up to any deal he signed once he had time to rearm and retrain?
