Putin needs to be stopped. He is a nightmare that won't go away if peace is brokered. A scenario has already been written by NATO if the Russian forces resort to low yield nuclear weapons. In a peace where Ukraine joins NATO in return with a redrawing of borders who pays for the reparations? There is big business ahead for multinational contractors ready to rebuild on the ruins and those scenario could be been updated weekly. Who are these players? Regretfully, this might be a factor extending the conflict.
Yes, I think we are approaching a point where Ukraine will need to make some concessions, perhaps in return for joining NATO. A very narrow path ahead for all parties with steep cliffs on either side.
