Negotiated.

This is coolbert:

Extracted thanks to several sources herewith proposals an end to the Ukraine Conflict. An amicable settlement agreed upon through fair and just negotiations.

1. From the Internet web site of the www.dupuy institute.org

"Elon Musk just published a poll on Ukraine on his twitter account (@elonmusk)."

The Musk plan: [a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine Conflict]

* – "Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.

* – "Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake)."

* – "Water supply to Crimea assured."

* – "Ukraine remains neutral."

See some initial reactions to the proposal of Elon Musk. None favorable, Russian and Ukrainian both.

Guest article by Bill Lind.

Negotiation key-points and take-away to include: [but scarcely limited to]

* "Russia has a legitimate interest in Ukraine, namely that it does not constitute a threat to Russia. That means Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO, although it may join the EU.  If Ukraine succeeds in retaking Donbas, it returns to Ukraine, but as a special autonomous region with some degree of self-government and a general amnesty.  If Russia can hold it, it stays Russian."

* "Russia keeps Crimea, because it has historically been Russian.  Like the Donbas, the Russian corridor connecting Russia proper to Crimea stays with whoever holds it when the fighting stops."

* "In return for Russia getting Crimea, Ukraine gets East Prussia (now called the 'Kaliningrad Oblast') and a new, broad-gauge, heavy-haul railway connecting Konigsberg to Ukraine, giving Ukraine two seas through which it can export its agricultural products."

* "Finally, Russia joins an international consortium to rebuild Ukraine, with Russia allowed to concentrate its efforts in towns and cities where the population is heavily Russian."

Personally I'll believe it when I see it. Negotiations at this stage of-the-game seem very far fetched. Proposals for an end to the war worthy for consideration but right now at this point even hard to see any sort of peaceful resolution to the war.
