Geopolitics

Putin's proposal from yesterday speech: Ukraine withdraws forces from administrative borders of 4 regions, takes neutrality (+ other stuff negotiated during initial peace talks at Istanbul), recognised all annexed and conquered territories including Crimea as part of Russia. Basically a peace treaty. wdyt?

Now we know what's Russia's "maximalist" negotiating position. Russia holds about 17.5% of Ukraine's territory. If Ukraine agrees to this deal (which they won't) that would give Russia about 22.5% of Ukraine.
To put it in perspective, I believe less than 0.1% of Ukraine's territory changed hands since end of 2022.
