This is very clear since April, when 15-something drafts of the Istanbul peace agreement were sabotaged. Someone preferred war on atrrition and considered your compatriots expendables. Well, it sometimes happens between warring states and limitrophes…

Btw, I advise you to study Chinese history from Zhanguo period or more recent Warlords era, a couple of useful lessons for Ukraine could be taught. If, of course, you still can dismiss petty nationalistic interests and/or throw away rose glasses.

Disclaimer. I’m an ardent critic of Putin’s war in Ukraine since the very beginning. My opinion is unchanged: peace agreement on basis of mutual concessions should be forced upon both parties as soon as possible.
