We need to get to negotiations
Negotiations started days ago and are ongoing.
But the only way to end the war quickly is to give Putin a way out that allows him to save face.
You don't think the Ukrainians involved in the negotiations also have that in mind?
I'd rather that was permitted than war continued with people killed and lives ruined.
And does it matter what the people of Ukraine want?

I am a member of Stop the War and have been since Iraq so I certainly don't deplore their stance - I fully support it. I'd be surprised if anyone who actually reads what they say and isn't a nutter deplores it.
I want to see an end to the conflict asap. Russia has got Crimea. The people who live there seem, as far as we can tell, to be happy with that. Putin did say in his rather odd discussion with his spy chief that he didn't see taking the autonomous regions as being on the table.
We need to get to negotiations and see what Russia actually does want, and find an acceptable solution. Nobody knows what it would be yet. But the only way to end the war quickly is to give Putin a way out that allows him to save face. I'd rather that was permitted than war continued with people killed and lives ruined.
