None of the Russian peace demands are an “existential” threat to Ukraine. There are no Russian plans for genocide, or even for occupying the bulk of the country. There is no need for Ukraine to keep fighting. Peace is achievable, and on terms that both sides can live with.

However, the West does not want peace. The West sees this war as a chance to bleed Russia. To economically devastate Russia. Perhaps to even “regime change” Russia. Not to mention the billions in earnings for the Military Industrial Complex. From America’s perspective, this war has to go on. Since the West controls Zelensky, the death and destruction will continue, even though this war could end now.
