Regardless of what the borders would be, whitout nato membership or weapons of Mass destruction, ensuring peace any agreement would only last until russia rearms and fixes its logistical broblems caused by corruption, leading to russia taking kiev after couple of years anyway.

Those assets aren't frozen anymore, they're already partly spent. Besides that, Russia can do fine without. Instead of relying on the arrogant west, they're turning towards the countries that have been and often are still used and abused by the imperial colonialist western alliance. The rest of the world has a lot more people and they're almost all turning against the west and allying with the likes of China and Russia. Sticking with the west will leave them as 3rd world countries, allying with China and Russia gives them the chance to actually develop properly as a country. Not to mention the fact that it also serves as a protection against the west constantly sabotaging them. The west seems to be on a decline to be honest, in their sad and pathetic attempt to hold onto their power it's slipping away from their defanged paws and there's nothing they can do about it. Honestly not looking forward to the future here since there's a lot of issues coming in the next few decades because there won't be enough people to support the countries. Meaning some extreme measures will likely be taken. We'll pretty much have communism posing as democracy.

[@magnvss]

All these analyses overlook the fact that current demographics are vastly different from those of any country in the past. Both Ukraine and Russia (as well as the whole of Europe) were facing a birthrate crisis even before the war, and this trend is unlikely to change-in fact, it may worsen. The millions who fled Ukraine are unlikely to return unless there are extraordinary benefits, economic opportunities, and stability to incentivize them. Even then, the lack of youth remains a critical issue. No young people means no future. Neither Ukraine nor Russia plans to adopt the Western European model of 'multiculturalism,' which has introduced its own variation of the demographic problem. As a result, both countries are likely to continue shrinking. Europe can't solve in Ukraine what it can't solve for itself.

[@tristan7216]

If both nations have falling populations, why the fk do they need territory? Seems like demographic collapse is a reason to stop throwing the remaining youth into the frontline meatgrinder, for both countries.

[@Slumdog_Engineer]

As a Ukrainian who left the country 1 month before the war, I can say that Ukraine did not have any future even before annexation of Crimea back in 2014. It was just a constant hope that things will be better in future since independence back in 1991 without any significant improvements in government and economic. Sad but true.

The best option is for the European nations to decidedly take over the complete defense of Ukraine, giving it the effective support as if it actually were in NATO, and let the US sell arms if necessary but not depend on the US. The US has been withdrawing from the globalization and global peacekeeping roles. So the test is, will the rest of the world actually maintain the "rules based order" and "western values of individual sovereignty, democracy, and free enterprise", or devil e back into competing empires.

Thus one needs MORE USD to buy an ounce of GOLD - and so 0 the purchasing power of the USD keeps shrinking as well as the people who have to pay higher taxes to pay the monthly interest on the increasing debt - people are robbed by the roadside by armed brain damaged order following GOVERNMENT AGENTS who have to find ways to extract as much as they can from the 'already impoverished ' population - who are worse off than wa the population in 1950 The present REAL value of the USD is less than 20 cents than the value it was in 1943 The value of the USD is artificially inflated - this in turn keeps other countries POOR - as they cannot print USD -- Only NORTH KOREA managed to successfully print USD that it was near impossible to recognize that the currency is fake - Once it was discovered - the USD had to be modified with additional security features - There still remain millions of fake USD bills in circulation around the world, Any of the 'old style ' BILLS are suspect - there is no guarantee that they are Genuine.

Nice vid, but could you turn down the volume of the music in the transitions?

[@tavdy79]

Looking to Korea as an example is wrong. We need to look to what happened across the Black sea, in Georgia. For a while the country was moving towards membership of both the EU and NATO - something Putin did not want. His 2008 invasion made NATO membership impossible, and he also managed to slow down the pace on EU accession. His key goal in Ukraine was the same: prevent the country from joining both the EU and NATO. For this reason any outcome that prevents both EU and NATO membership - which the Korea-style "solution" would do - would be an unacceptable victory for Putin, and increase the threat he poses to both front line NATO states, and also third parties like Moldova (where he's been doing the same thing he did in Georgia and Ukraine) and Belarus (whose people would dearly love to be rid of their self-described dictator). Thing is, a slightly longer war is in Ukraine's interests if they continue getting support from the West. Russia currently faces a perfect storm of threats that will be much more difficult to deal with as long as the country is still fighting in Ukraine. There is theimpending and unavoidable economic meltdown, which has the potential to trigger major protests. The collapse of the Assad regime in Syria means that Russia's ability to project power in Africa - an increasingly important source of foreign-currency (primarily US dollar) revenues for the Russian government - is now extremely limited, perhaps even ended entirely, as Russia was reliant upon its airbase in Syria to transfer people and weapons to Africa. Russia is also running out of military resources. For several key equipment categories the country's Soviet-era stockpiles either only have a few months' supply left, or are already completely exhausted. Plus, of course, they're running out of meat for the grinder. That's why Putin turned to Kim: he needs cannon fodder. Russia's territorial gains this year were a result of Putin calculating that his best hope for survival lay in Trump winning the White House. He knew Russia couldn't continue the conflict for more than a couple more years, and that defeat would have extremely unpleasant personal consequences for him. However if he got a favourable deal from Trump in 2025 he could end things before everything went wahoonie-shaped. Increasing the pace at which Russia took ground was calculated to make Ukraine look weak, which would strengthen Putin's hand in any negotiations, and also make American voters more inclined to vote for the candidate promising a quick peace deal. The fall of the Assad regime revealed just how weak Russia's military now is, which means the question has become whether or not Trump will recognise the opportunity and play hardball. If he does, Putin has no options. The survival of his regime (and perhaps himself personally) hinges on him achieving a deal that he can sell as a victory, however Russia's impending economic and military collapse means that, if American support were to continue, or if it were replaced by increased support from other NATO members, a Russian defeat is unavoidable. Because Putin's spent so many resources grabbing territory this year, a Russian defeat is set to happen relatively soon, perhaps late summer next year, at which point Kyiv could force Putin's successor to agree a deal that gives them four things Putin really wants to avoid: membership of the EU, membership of NATO, return of occupied territories, and Putin in The Hague.

[@Mark3nd]

In a surprise visit to Ukraine on 9 April, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pressured Ukraine to not talk with Russia and the deal was over. The Istanbul agreement was far better than any deal Ukraine could get now.

Trump won't decide anything

Ukraine would have to destroy major infrastructures to the occupied territories as much as possible before ceding territories, notably totally all spans of the Kerch Bridge to make rebuilding next to impossible under Russia's current economy (possibly stating that it not be rebuilt in the agreement); as well as not allow military bases in the ceded territories (not likely but worth it). Basically making the occupied territories a DMZ, subjected to inspections; as Russia will want sanctions lifted. Also: keeping what you invaded works both ways.

[@SlowedFalcon]

The only way for Ukrainian to survive if NATO membership is delayed or delayed is for the the Russian republics within Russia to become independent causing an internal conflict like the Russian revolution during WW1

[@dragosstanciu9866]

Ukraine will survive, unless Russia will invade again at a later time.

Giving up the Donbas I understand, but Crimea must be Ukraine

[@BusesAreFatCars]

Even Zelensky has admitted they can't get it back. What are you talking about?

[@live_free_or_perish]

Crimea is strategically critical. Without Crimea in Ukraine, Putin will have an insurmountable advantage.

[@BusesAreFatCars]

@live_free_or_perish Yes, which is why he won't be giving it up. The people of Crimea also don't want him to. If it looked liked it was going to be taking by force then the possibility of escalating to nukes is high. Putin has Crimea. People will just have to deal with that fact. There might have been a chance in the future to negotiate for the return of Crimea if Ukraine were on good terms with Russia. Just as here in Ireland there may be the chance to reunite Northern Ireland with the rest of the country at some point in the future. Ukraine chose a different path though. Now things are as they are, and they will have to live with that.

You have been compiling a lot of information that caters to a very one-sided narrative. There is so much information and commentray out there which very clearly shows the Russian perspective, so, if this perspective doesn't - or does only in a contorted way - appear in your "analysis", this is either a purposeful choice our you do a very shoddy research. If you try to see only on one eye, it becomes impossible to develop perspective.

I agree with keeping Ukraine out of NATO. The alliance has been very firm that all territorial claims need to be settled before a member can join. North Macedonia had to add north to their country name just to settle friction with Greece and their territory named Macedonia to gain membership. Ukraine has so many reasons to go to war with Russia again they are simply not worth it because they will drag us into it if conflict breaks out again.

[@markoofski]

[@thembastoep733]

It was two different countries back then

[@PaulV.]

Russians have already made it perfectly clear that "the Korean style" exit is not an option. The only one they will agree is "the post-WW2 Finland" one. The difference is the formal recognition of territories they ve conquered (not just a ceasefire), the permanent (not 20 year or so one) neutrality for Ukraine and the complete cessation of anti-Russian policies both internal and external by Ukraine. That perfectly work for Finland through all the Cold War history and Western historians even spun this into "Finland has won the war since it remained independent". Otherwise there is no reason for Russians to stop at all. They gained already close to 1k sqkm in November alone (up from 650 sqkm in October and 200-300 sqkm monthly through the rest of the year) and November become the first month when the number of deserters from the Ukrainian army surpassed the number of newly mobilized (more than 20k).

As much damange has been done to ukraine, russia aint in best shape either and will never be as vulnerable as now, Also authocratic goverments have lower treshold before breaking, than democratic ones, usually ending in authocrats violent disposal and whitout clear line of sucession and too many canditates, itll either be civil war or country breaking into smaller ones, both of which would remove biggest military threath to europe.

Russian soldiers losses are lower than that or Ukraine

[@DavidHalko]

Nope… Third parties are counting deceased on the battlefield via photos. Drone footage shows Russians whacking wounded immobile Russians, while Ukrainians rescue their wounded. Ukrainian wounded get fixed up & voluntarily return to the front to fight & kill invading Russians, while mobile untreated Russian wounded are just sent without proper treatment & equipment to absorb Ukrainian ammo. Just look at the age of those on the front lines - Russian pensioners are headed to the front line, now that the Russian prisons are empty, and illegally conscripted Donbas Ukrainian men are all used up. War is not about dying for one’s own country, it is about zero’ing the foreign invading nation’s fighters & assets. Ukraine is doing well, losing a few square km each day to accomplish this goal… a depopulated & disarmed Russia.

Russians actually do not suffer huge men losses and have not asked NKorea for help, it has asked for involvement to show how committed are they to their treaty. I think the outcome will be no NATO for Ukraine, no foreign troops on its territory and small army, this will secure its future borders.

Ukraine has no right to demand anything at this point. They've had a ton of chances to negotiate and instead just kept escalating. Russia isn't going to accept anything less than ownership of the regions they took along with with neutrality, meaning no Nato anywhere in the country.

[@smartguy360]

russia is the world's biggest country why does it need more land

[@thenonexistinghero]

​@@smartguy360 They don't need more land, but they do need a buffer zone. The west promised since the 90's with the Minsk agreements to not move Nato even an inch to the east, yet they kept breaking their promise and kept expanding to the east. There's also the whole 2014 coup that took place in Ukraine in which the US installed a puppet government (which state-controlled media calls Russian propaganda, but there's documents, officials, videos/calls proving that it was indeed the case). Russia would've never invaded Ukraine if the west didn't take action to endanger Russia. The west is fully aware they did this and that Russia would have no choice but to respond like that. For Russia, this is an existential crisis. If they hadn't taken action, Nato would've placed troops and missile installations and heavy weaponry right at the Russian border, set up a false flag attack and then would've unleashed on Moscow. Russia had no choice but to do what they're doing if they wanted to protect themselves. If someone else was leading the country, he would've done the same thing. Imagine Russia placing weapon installations and soldiers in Mexico right on the US border. People keep saying that Ukraine is an independent country and they can decide whether they want foreign troops there or not. But they would at the same time think of it as unacceptable if it was the other way around. Then all of a sudden Mexico wouldn't be an independent country. And in fact, this happened decades ago with the Colombian missile crisis. The country isn't quite as close the US as Ukraine is to Russia, yet the US was ready to go ballistic over that. Hypocrisy at its finest.
