WNU Editor: He does not look good in this video. It is clear that the toll of the war and the destruction that it is causing is taking its toll on here. And worse .... I think he knows now that if a solution to end the war is not found soon, major cities like Kyiv and Odessa will be destroyed, and the Russian army will be employing a scorch earth policy in western Ukraine.

Yes, Volodymyr Zelensky make concession because Putin did first too. At the beginning Putin want ALL Ukraine, now that's just Donbas and Crimea he already has.

Hope Putin accepts the very reasonable compromise from Zelensky. And hope the West accepts Putin's acceptance of it.

I guess the alternative will be a prolonged proxy war between Russia and NATO or a full on nuclear war. Either way Russia will be destroyed.

Hope not. Life sucks when you’re getting run over but if Ukraine rolls over I’d hate to be living in the Baltic States. Hitler said he wasn’t interested in taking over Europe either. Don’t think the equipment losses will slow Putin down he has something like 10k tanks in storage. The RUS a military never throws anything away.

This is what I thought Putin's endgame: Donbas
and Crimea Ukraine and international recognition.

Put in an order for 43 million Swiss Army Knives.
