I think that's sometimes half of the problem. These old gits would have grown up in the soviet era, and now in a position of power want to return to a soviet-era, yet you'll probably find the younger demographic Russians wouldn't want this.
 
I don't think this has been posted today

Nearly 2 weeks on and the Russians have barely moved from their opening positions.

It looks like the Ukrainians has been able to deploy it's TB2's against the convoys today to good effect, lots of footage going around of drone strikes against armored columns.

This was posted a while back. Worth watching.

Whilst I do agree a deal needs to be done, even if the politicians agreed to allow Russia to completely take over Ukraine, the people themselves wouldn't accept it and would keep fighting.

Crimea and the Donbas region - and I guess all of the Black Sea region could be given up to save the rest of the country. Recognise the Donesk and Luhansk republics, Ukraine backs off from joining NATO, Russia accepts "Western Ukraine" seeks closer ties with the EU, everyone agrees that any further incursion by Russia will result in the same outcome as we have now (but with a stronger Ukraine defence force), internationally run humanitarian aid for those in the new republics (if required) but safe passage for those that do not want to stay in those regions.

Donbas sure let them have it its full of russian separatists (not russian speaking ukrainians, theres a difference) but the Black Sea coast is a harder sell it'd cut off their only access to sea ports their only other borders are russian controlled areas or poland not exactly an international hub there. The real sticking point is Russia or rather Putin simply does not want Ukraine to have closer ties with the EU/NATO which is what this war is all about in the first place, Putin sees it as "spheres of influence" theres western spheres and russian spheres and as far as he's concerned Ukraine all or any part of it falls under Russia's sphere and will not accept anything less than strict neutrality at the very very least i.e. almost certainly no EU and absolutely no NATO membership and the ukrainian people almost certainly think otherwise, theres also the West's desire to see people have self determination i.e. its up to the Ukranian people who they choose to side with - and thats fundamentally at odds with Russia's authoritarian viewpoint that is the polar opposite. Hence the talks going nowhere at present
