Russian invasion of Ukraine/Peace Talks

• I want to know *exactly* what Ukraine should negotiate with Russia. What, specifically should Ukraine agree to give RU? Negotiation is a way to RESOLVE an issue in a way that BOTH parties find acceptable. So what, I ask, do people think is ACCEPTABLE for UKRAINE to concede?

• Making clear that when Russia says that Ukraine must “recognize territorial realities” in order for peace negotiations to begin, they mean Ukraine must surrender one of its major industrial centers, which Russia has never come close to taking. To *begin* negotiations.
