Thinking of #Russia and #Ukraine
Here's my solution.
Ukraine becomes a neutral state with low or no army, think like Japan for most of the last century.
Ukraine keeps most of its territory. Perhaps lose a small bit for Russia to access Crimera. But preferably keep all of it.
Ukraine remains autonomous, with exception for defense.
So then #NATO and Russia have joint military bases. Literally 50/50, and properly mixed up. We don't want NATO buildings on one side and Russian on the other.
This effectively stops any issues in the borderlands. Ukraine's economy will boom, and war between east and west becomes much harder to begin.
What do yall's think?

NATO is not the problem for russia. it is just an artificial talking point for the west to keep bla bla bla. NATO said many times that Ukraine will not be a member any time soon. and the war hasn't stopped.
My point is to create an international boarder alliance between advisaries while bolstering the host nation.

Talk is cheap, and NATO often /forgets/ its talk.
NATO is certainly a concern for Russia. If not, this war would have ended in year one.
sorry but you don't understand the real picture. NATO has nothing to do with this war. Even if NATO did not exist at all, russia would still try to destroy the Ukrainian state. BTW putin has said this many times, for example in an interview with Carlson.
>> sorry but you don't understand
Always a great argument. Especially when you play the strawman.
My argument:
If Russia + NATO run defense for Ukraine, Ukraine will (technically) remain sovereign. Ukraine will also be in a place to prosper. Much like Japan.
Your argument:
This has nothing to do with NATO.
These two arguments aren't addressing the same point.
I understand you to be describing Russian reasons for the conflict, while I'm proposing a solution to lasting peace.
Would Russia accept? Possibly, both sides need the war to end at this point. Attrition wars are not a happy place to be. Even if you have the superior numbers.
Also, my point about NATO was that Ukraine would have been crushed quickly, if they did not have NATO support.
