The only reason I opened the article, "whatchu mean fear of peace talks?!"
Like I get it, Ukraine shouldn't capitulate. But ending the bloodshed is a good thing, surely.
The issue is that we've already tried the whole peace thing before. Remember the Budapest Memorandum? The Minsk Protocol & Minsk II? The Partition & Friendship Treaties?
I feel like the heart of the issue is that Russia doesn't want peace. If it did, we would not be here in the first place.
