"Translation: There is no peace deal, only "concepts of a plan."

Clue: Listen to President Zelensy:

"Zelensky says Ukraine will not give up territory for peace with Russia: This is our land"

IMHO eventually Russia will give up and go home just like the U.S. did in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. England figured out the same lesson 200 years ago. Defeating the military.
We won the wars but we lost the occupations and Putin will either croak (my sincere hope) or learn thw same lesson. He can try to occupt Ukraine but, as they have proven, the Ukrainians will continue killing Russians every day till they leave and don't foeget, prior to 2014, Russians vacationed in Crimea every summer and drove across other parts of Ukraine all the time, My daughter in law managed a French bank in Zaporizhzhia where Russians did transactiions every day. That is why I have said all along that Ukraine's only "crime" that caused Putin to want to destroy their country was that they were economicallt successful and wanted to join the EU because the Russian sphere could only promise poverty, as it still does and will continue to do so as long as their oligarchy is allowed to control things. And now Trump, Musk, Bezos and the MAGAmorons want to help them do it. The morons are many but unfortunately they are very slow learners.
