Putin is saying a peace agreement can be reached if he is given land he has not been able to conquer himself. So this all about land. Always has been.
That's like Japan saying we'll capitulate WW2, but you have to give us Hawaii. Or Germany saying yes, we'll sign the accords and end WW2, but we get to keep France and Poland.
Comedy.

Even if you compare Wagner to “Azov” obviously Azov as a unit chants and idolizes Nazi. Where as Wagner doesn’t.
I mean you don’t see Russia chanting to Stepan Bandera as a National hero

Billions to a country defending itself from invasion.

How does cash stop Putin. Care to detail how the cash flooding into the Ukraine is being turned into weapons, from who? What is that cash being spent on?
Most of the aid is on the form of direct military supplies. The money sent used to keep Ukraine as a functioning country as its economy has been massively damaged by Putin's invasion.
Rows and rows of partially inhabited high-rises sprawl into the suburbs of the northern Chinese metropolis of Tianjin, their empty balconies emblematic of a slowing economy that has not kept pace with the country's ambitions.
A year and a half after crippling Covid-19 restrictions ended, the property crisis is just one of the deadweights dragging on China's recovery momentum, sending ripples of unease through the country's leaders and citizens.
China waits anxiously for economic plan as gloom reigns
he head of one of the largest banks in Russia has said that the country's economy is overheating due to the war in Ukraine.
Since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia's economy has been hit by sanctions placed on it by the global community. Western nations were the most severe with sanctions, particularly on Russia's trade industry. Despite this, increased wartime activities have meant the Russian economy grew by 3.6% last year.
However, the CEO of Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, has now said that this growth is a sign of an overheated economy. Herman Gref, speaking at the Federation Council in the Russian legislature on June 4, is reported to have said: "Our economy is definitely and strongly overheated.
"We have never had such main capacity utilization in our history. At the level of 84 percent - this is threshold where it is merely impossible to go above it. And huge funds are going to the economy via the budget impulse."
However, other key areas of the economy are feeling the strain. On June 5, Russia's Ministry of Economic Development released figures showing that annual inflation had risen to 8.17 percent. In March 2023, Federation Council Deputy Speaker Galina Karelova claimed that over 8.4 million jobs had been put at risk due to the international pressure, particularly those at international companies based in the West.
