The Ukrainian president said that now "is a time for battle" and that holding presidential elections in such circumstances was not appropriate.

    What kind of question is that? No one has even tried.

      Yes, but what should they expect? what would Russia most likely ask for, for the war to end?

          Let me give you a hint: Why did Russia start the war according to Russia and to Ukraine?

          This one is really simple.

            Bruh the Ukrainian government started it in 2014 when they started shelling their own civilians.

              First of all do you have a source for the shelling claim never heard of it, but the other claim of unfair treatment and prosecution of Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk means that Russia wants to at least take control of those areas. And the claims that Ukraine is run by neo-nazis means that Russia may want to take control of Ukraine as a whole.

                  OK, that’s horrible. But yeah, Russia isn’t looking for peace if it doesn’t involve taking control over a large area of Ukraine.

                    Borders are constructs and as history shows they change whether its justifiable or not.
