Most people want the Russo-Ukrainian conflict to end so we can stop worrying about the future. Some think the only way it can end is if Russia withdraws and gives up Novorossiya and Crimea. But that would not end the war, because UkroNazis want WW3 & won't let it end that way...
They'll make sure that the war shifts to the rest of Rus Fed soil, instead... spewing nonsense about how we need to "decolonize" Russia for the sake of a long-lasting peace, and they'll manage to drag the rest of the world into that fight.
The only way that this can end, is if Ukraine loses this war and gives up Novorossiya and Crimea. UkroManiacs say that won't work because Russia wants to seize all of Ukraine, and then move on to the rest of Europe...
To test which theory is true, a treaty should put on the table, offering recognition of Russia's sovereignty over NovoRossiya and Crimea, or at the least, giving NovoRossiya and Crimea independence. If Russia actually wants more than this, they'll reject the deal.
As far as testing whether Ukraine would stop with a Russian withdrawal... we don't need to test that theory. They, and the NeoCons, are already saying stuff about decolonizing Russia, and stuff about how there will be no peace as long as Russia still exists.
Russia withdrawal also would not resolve the civil war. That war was going on before Russia launched their SMO, and would continue after Russia leaves. Our leaders and the "experts" keep ignoring that part of the conflict... the *people* of Crimea and Donbass.
What about *their* struggle for freedom from an oppressive government that has done violence against them since 2014? Why aren't their rights to self-defense and self-determination respected or even acknowledged?
Ignoring the *people* of Crimea and Donbass is how this mess happened in the first place, and this war won't end unless and until their existence and agency are acknowledged. #DonbassLivesMatter #CrimeaIsCrimean
They wouldn't and shouldn't, but it's not just about "Russian speakers". Russia has also protected Armenians and Syrians. They are the only ones who come to the aid of people who are *actually* being butchered by terrorists.
