Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a ceasefire with Russia without reclaiming lost territories would only prolong the war, according to an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday.
It’s a theoretical argument anyways. Right now the Russians have zero interest in a ceasefire as they are consolidating their territorial gains in the east.
Which is the same as I wrote? It will take them most likely a few more weeks to consolidate and then there might be an window of opportunity for a ceasefire, but who knows. But definitely not right now.
As long as Taiwan claims ownership of the mainland, the pro-Taiwan-independence movement is fighting both mainland China and the Taiwanese government. It’s a real dumb move on Taiwan’s part.
Actually, Taiwan is an official part of China, according to things like internal USA government documents. Wake me up when someone creates an embassy in Taiwan.
The longer this war lasts, more Ukrainians will die and more territory Ukraine will lose. A ceasefire is in Ukraine’s interest.

Depends. Russia is very close to reaching their publicly stated objective of liberating the Donbass.

If Russia gets what they publicly stated, then they might be more willing to reach a ceasefire.
To end this conflict, there has to be a “honourable exit” for both parties involved.
The sooner Ukraine starts to negotiate in earnest the better off they will be. It’s really that simple.
should Taiwan accept China as its owner as well?
Doesn’t Taiwan claim ownership over the Chinese mainland as well? They see themselves as the legitimate China.

They don’t threaten to invade or attack other people for even saying the name of mainland china.
I mean Taiwan can try to invade the mainland, but I don’t see that as a very promising enterprise. The difference in power is huge.
But the official Taiwanese position is that they are China, not the mainland.
Yes. What point do you think you made?
