I think this would be the appropriate time to point out that Russia can stop this war at any time by leaving, whereas Ukraine can only stop it by convincing Russia to leave. They already tried concessions, and that didn’t work.

And the rest of the world can’t stop the war at all, it can only act to prolong it or favor one side or the other.

This seems like a false dichotomy, Ukraine can surrender as well, as unpopular as it would be. Ukraine has been following the lead of the US, even before the invasion. This has lead them away from any negotiations, right to where they are today.

They tried surrendering to Russia in 2014 and it only got them 8 years of peace before Russia invaded again. How long do you think it'd take next time, 6 years? 4 years?
