This is the template going forward. The Russians have layed out their demands. When they are accepted the fighting ends and life goes on with a new normal in Europe. Of course the US and Nato will be slow to come around and accept. Probably months to years to get back to where we were before the fighting broke out. I would expect Ukraine to reject and the news will probably report end of the talks. Gradually, as I believe TimH’s post was correct and Russia is in complete control, Ukraine will have no choice but to accept, even if gradually just facing the reality of the situation as compared to a formal acceptance. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-offers-ukraine-conditions-which-if-met-would-see-military-action-stop
