also: zelenskyy is literally a dictator and uses the ongoing war to desperately cleave onto power for himself and... the brits. mi6, isn't it?

should the conversation lag on thursday, we could begin discussing this in terms of microwave biotech experimentation, havana syndrome, and how zelenskyy sold his own citizens to big pharma for oligarchical profiteering - shilling for the uk. if anyone wants to quibble about "honour".

Discussion
in my opinion, russia would agree to compete withdrawl from ukrainian territory except for liberated religions and crimea, in exchange for ukraine calling for long-overdue free&fair elections, zelenskyy may not run for re-election, and a ceasefire for that to take place. then: let the citizens of ukraine decide their future. with french diplomatic oversight for the election. put territory on the ballot: you want to live under a flag that sells its citizens to the west for experimental drug and weapons trials - or with russia.
everyone needs to stop meddling. if ukraine cannot exercise self-determination, they will end up in this same situation again -
crimea is not up for discussion. it should not have ever been removed from russian control in the first place; same conversation as the vatican vs eoc.
