Those pushing or even considering that Ukraine should do some sort of deal that cedes occupied land need to appreciate that this isn't just about principal or even national pride. There are hard economic and national survival reasons why Russia invaded where they did and why Ukraine needs the occupied lands back. Look at the following resource maps (these are just a few):

For Ukraine to willingly concede those territories (and for Russia to be rewarded with them for their illegal aggression) is tantamount to economic suicide. I am sure no forced peace will include compensating Ukraine for its future losses. Let alone the entire injustice of rewarding the criminals who have conducted, and continue to conduct, crimes against humanity be those murders, rapes, castrations, forced separation of children from their families, and so on. All because someone wants to have a "Peace in out time" moment for the cameras and create/perpetuate a false narrative for their own supporters. Fuck off!!!
