The war only ends with a negotiated settlement and will inevitably involve Russia keeping some….if not all…the territory it has taken. Why that should come as a surprise to anyone is…..surprising! A return to pre-2014 borders was never….ever on the cards. I’ve said that all along.

The only way it could’ve happened would have been for the Russian economy to completely collapse, it hasn’t. Despite sanctions their oil exports have gone increased, massively.

Lots of countries that have no skin in this war, very happy to purchase Russian oil.

A buffer zone will need to be part of the deal, similar to what exists between N/S Korea manned with UN troops.

In fact, the border of all countries to Russia will need to be addressed, a new Iron Curtain.
