Russia is welcome to diplomatically leave Ukraine whenever the fuck they want.

    NATO has completely surrounded Russia, North Korea and China with Nukes and proxies.

    The west has almost completely abandoned international law.

    Russia has zero incentive to end this attrition war. North Korea and China have zero incentive to stop supporting it.

    If they did, there is every indication to them that Ukraine would be another nuclear armed NATO proxy.
