Daily Mail: Reports " Putin 'has been offered surrender terms by the West' as he loses control of Kherson - and 'his cronies have reacted positively because it allows them to stay in power and avoid criminal charges'...Plan would see Russia give up all territory in Ukraine except Crimea, which would become demilitarised zone "
Lets Get Real:
One doubts that Putin would agree to such a DEAL, he would be finished in Russia, how will he explain the deaths and wounding of at least a hundred thousand soldiers. This is the kind of number that is HARD TO COVER UP, and the idea that he would give up the Crimea is for the birds, Putin invaded the Crimea in 2014 and he sees CRIMEA as the real part of Russia, it was only given to the Ukraine in 1954 as a matter of friendship. Also the Ukraine was part of the USSR, thus Russia was the USSR in political terms. Of course Putin might want to take such a DEAL, the sanctions would go away, and he could rebuild his Army, the destruction of Russian Forces in the Ukraine has greatly damaged Russian stores of tanks etc, they are getting drones from another terrorist state, that being Iran, also North Korea is helping them out with ammo. The War with the Ukraine has shown that Russia is no longer a superpower in the convention sense, it has nukes, but one hopes that never comes up for discussion in the Kremlin.
