A decision to negotiate over the heads of the Ukrainians would reveal just how Trump sees Ukraine and Europe.

The Donetsk & Luhansk republics would violently resist any attempt by Kyiv to absorb them back into Ukraine.

LOL

You know that whole rebellion thing was created by Russia right?

Look, however it started, Russia has had significant portions of those territories for a decade. They've been arresting dissidents, running propaganda, and making their roots as deep as possible. It's not going to be easy for Ukraine to just resume administration of those areas.

I live in a country that was occupied by Nazi Germany, where the Nazis did the exact same things and put the local Nazi sympathizers in charge of local administration. It didn't turn us into a country with deep Nazi roots.

We just imprisoned and shot those fuckers after the war.

I hope it's that easy. I fear it's not.
