Let's be absolutely clear: *any* negotiated solution that leaves Ukraine outside of the Euroatlantic institutions (NATO/EU) maintains Ukraine's status as a buffer/gray zone b/n russia and the West. This status led to russia's two attempts in 10yrs to subjugate Ukraine and it guarantees a third try.

THAT IS GENOCIDE.

In Russian-occupied areas in southern and eastern Ukraine, Russian authorities urge civilians not only to switch from Ukrainian to Russian citizenship/passports but also to Russify surnames.
