Ukraine told to accept cash-for-land deal with Putin

To resolve the social and ethnic partition of Eastern Ukraine from Kiev Remember the Russians were long term “ leasing” Sevastopol from Ukraine…its Black Sea base which has been Russian for hundreds of years and was never Ukrainian) when the Ukes started playing footsie with NATO wanting to build a base there…triggering among other things, the Russian seizure of Crimea Since Ukraine has neither the population, natural resources, manufacturing base nor GDP to remove them, and no world power is willing to do it, common sense says the negotiation is what will it take for Russia to stop advancing and maybe give some back. The Russian advance is picking up the pace in southern Ukraine the past 2 weeks Also if you zoom out you can see the left and right pincers forming for what’s left of the Donbas
