I’d be happy with that. The most important thing is democratic processes are set up in Donbas so they can work towards independence or rejoining Russia if they are the result of the referendum. But we can’t go on with an internal dirty war in that region as the threat of Russia will always be looming. if the result goes the other way then Russia has to recognise it. We can’t go on with thousands being disappeared and tortured by both sides.
As someone else put it the west will bravely fight russia to the last drop of Ukrainian blood. While biden is obviously impaired he couldn’t have done more damage to the peace talks when he called putin a genocidal war criminal, whether it was accurate or not. Still, it suits the moralising lunatics no uphold their high standards etc. Stiff upper lip and all that
