Ukraine absolutely was not. They were never going to let Russia just invade them and take land. That’s a fallacy.
They may have done in 2014 under a pro-Russia government when they weren’t prepared but this time they were.
There is zero evidence of the peace talks nor of Us and UK sabotaging them or telling them to not accept. That is disinformation.
Russia has not sued for peace. Any time they have approached potential talks especially with the Orangutan, Russia have attacked harder both pre and post “negotiations”.
