@jeffcliff @DW2 @leespringfield1903 @verita84 Nobody seemed to pressure Ukraine to have peace talks. Zelenski fired all his advisors who did. Surrounding yourself with yesmen is useful when you're unequivocally morally correct, and Ukraine, with its decades of corruption, cannot be such a thing by very nature. Before this conflict kicked off, it was reported that Ukraine was the most corrupt nation in Europe and I believe in the top 4 globally. Pillars of sand.
