"So far, Putin has been clear about the terms he is willing to accept to achieve peace. Like Michael Corleone inΒ The Godfather Part II, his offer is this: NOTHING!
No security guarantee; no independent, sovereign Ukraine; perhaps not even a cease-fire. Putinβs goal, as it has been from the beginning, is the incorporation of Ukraine into Russia and the complete erasure of the Ukrainian nation, language, and culture."
