We support what President Trump wanted – a ceasefire, and then sit down at the negotiating table and talk about everything else,” he told reporters on Tuesday, vowing not to give up any territory and retreat from the frontlines. “We will not leave Donbas. We cannot do this. Donbas for the Russians is a springboard for a future new offensive. If we leave Donbas of our own free will or if we are pressured, we will open a third war.”
With this mindset, the war can literally never end.
I’m curious if this is believed by most of the people in Ukraine, like if he is forced into this position on behalf of popular sentiment, or just the most hardcore.
