Lmao are you even paying attention? The whole point is to keep Russia on the offensive. They took Russian land and dug in.

Now Russia has to get them off their land or look like even more of a fucking idiot

I took a peek and as rheinmetall profits are ramping up smoke is coming out from Zaporizhzhia.

This isn't a videogame, many people will die an horrible way and the war will just get fueled.

Well damn, maybe Russia should stop invading a sovereign nation and commiting genocide. That would stop the war instantly, I'm sure going back to the 2012 borders would suit Ukraine just fine.

Neither russia or the west seem to have any interested in ending this war as politicians and rulers are making big profits and gaining wealth and power.

One option is for Russia to end its invasion.

The other is for Ukraine to cease to exist as a country as Russia continues for the 3rd 4th 5th time to continue taking land despite any existing treaty or ceasefire agreement

One of these is a reasonable request, the other one is not.

Russia can continue to punch itself in the face until it sees reason. We do not expect Ukraine to sacrifice itself to Putin's non-existent mercy.

There are other options that would help this war to end such as the west stopping doing business with china who is refueling russia in this war or with turkey who is helping russia dodging the sanctions. Guess what? they don't give a shit, politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they send peasants to die in the front, they don't fight their wars. The west has been trading weapons with russia before the conflict the same way they are doing it now with saudi arabia or egypt.

Chinese arms companies and banks involved in military aid are subject sanctions. That's why China is mainly limited to supplying dual-use equipment but even that's being reigned in. But nothing is going to stop Russia from going through 2 or 3 shell companies to get what they need, it'll at least cost them more.

But sure let's double down and go off and completely crater US/China trade by trillions in hopes it'll vaguely impact Russia instead of just directly supplying Ukraine the weapons/aid they need until Russia is ready to stop invading them.

Smoke from Запорізька АЕС (Запорожская АЭС) (not запорижжия or whatever) is questionable for the black smoke we'd seen is pretty weird for that kind of facility.

What can end this war in your opinion? As it seems, if Ukraine give up, after a period of violence and filtration against locals, it won't stop Russia from planning another SMO on Kazakhstan, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldavia or other countries state officials officially threatened. If Russia give up in this war and stop this bullshit there wouldn't be any conflict and it's own standards of living would slowly return to pre-Crimean levels.

added Ukrainian naming as the first one because for some reason I thought it's in contested russian territories, because, well, why our news scream about it that much?

Not fueling it is a good way to go toward an end. Politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they don't fight their wars they send others to die while they drink champagne.

If Russia give up in this war and stop this bullshit there wouldn’t be any conflict

The cold war never officially end

Yeah, okay, but that means China, Iran and NK would keep pumping Russia up with weapons to keep obliterating Ukraine. One-sided cutting of supply wouldn't work now or in the future.

No one officially said it even started, lol. There wasn't a note to proclaim it from either side. Yet, you can notice it wasn't like in the 50s when in the 90s and 00s the relationships between countries got warmer.
