It's not a win though is it. If those demands issued were fact, they were just some one looking for way out.
His objective was to take over Ukraine depose Zelensky and install a puppet regime loyal to Russia. Those demands were much much less than that.
The only demand over what he already had was guarantees the Ukraine won't join the EU or NATO - and they can easily be accommodated and circumnavigated so as not to penalise Ukraine.

No need for the ad-hominem attacks - I haven’t said anything negative about you seeming to want him to get away with his invasion and killing of innocent civilians.

Alright, I apologise, but neither do I see the need for the war to continue to an end that could be months even years away, and the associated body count.

I know exactly what’s involved - I served in the middle of East Germany during the height of the Cold War.

Well the height of the cold war would have been around Oct 25th 1962 when the two superpowers were closest to launching against each other - but I know what you mean.
If this continues, with an unhinged man with the power to launch feeling that only option to save face is to launch ...well it doesn't need explaining does it?
That's why this needs to end soon.
