The Russian fighting force is much depleted now hence the need to bring in ‘troops’ from North Korea, also freeing prisoners of fighting age, the Russian economy is on its knees now.

A compromise will have to be achieved but it can’t be a one way street whereby Putin walks away giving himself an a nice pat on the back. Putin will, over time, try to rearm and then force himself back into Ukraine thing is it will take time. All parties need to be involved to agree a compromise to stop this war it can’t be just America and Russia deciding amongst themselves what spoils each should receive, Ukraine’s interests have to be taken into account, at the end of the day Russia was the aggressor not Ukraine.

It seems as though the minerals in Ukraine are up for graps, I don’t see how America should take all of the spoils, Europe has given funds and weapons to Ukraine, in my opinion the wealth from the minerals should be used, in the first instance, to rebuild Ukraine, once that is done maybe then both America and Europe should agree to then get Ukraine to repay some of the debt it owes them, just my opinion.
