Simon Jenkins, The Guardian: A measure of autonomy in eastern Ukraine is the only way out of this crisis
The movement of troops round the Ukrainian border now clearly heralds a crisis. Russia’s level of provocation is grotesque, but nothing on the ground poses any strategic threat to Britain or any other western government, or even to Europe’s security as a whole.
Ukraine’s relations with Russia have been fraught since the toppling of the pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych in a coup in 2014. The country is split. When Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine rebelled, it was aided by Russia. Moscow seized Crimea. The longstanding ties with Russia were one reason why Nato left Ukraine out of its reckless post-Soviet rush to advance its security boundary as near as it could to the Russian border during the 1990s.

WNU Editor: The above analysis on how to end the Ukraine war is the same thing thing that I have been saying on this blog since the war started. A measure of autonomy must be given to the Russian dominated regions of eastern Ukraine.
Or to be more specific.
Establish a federated system like Canada's, where in Canada the french majority province of Quebec (where I live) has control over its language, culture, education, and some tax powers.
This is what was agreed upon at Minsk in 2015. This is what President Zelensky campaigned on when he ran for the Ukraine Presidency. And this is what the leaders in the rebel regions of eastern Ukraine have said they are willing to accept.
The war in Ukraine was started by Ukrainians, and it could only end by Ukrainians.
Unfortunately. This is not happening, and I have doubts that it will for a long time.

Putin: The Villain
Lukashenko: The side kick
Merkel: Born a communist. Avid communist in college and snitch. Fucked up immigration military and energy policy in Germany. Can all that happen by accident?
Hollande: A oversexed playboy cum politician, so he can access women and trade them in like cars (#1 68, #2 56, #3 49)
Poroshenko: the Mark
Those accords. Maybe it Italy, Brian and Spain were involved, it would be more broad based and not the result of an aggressor, a sidekick and two utterly worthless human beings.
Think of Putin as a mob boss, Lukashenko as an underboss, Merkel as a shop keeper paying protection money to the mob, Hollande as a self absorbed city councilman who is more interested in getting re-elected and laid than cracking down on crime and Poroshenko as the mark. There you have it.
You could make a Shakespearean play out of it.
