Putin Kiev Ultimatum: Drop Zelensky, Withdraw 4 Regions, No NATO Or Face Defeat; Volchansk Cauldron (Alexander Mercouris)

Zelensky has already rejected the proposal. Despite what Putin has offered, if the Russians do not go for a complete victory the Ukrainians will simply attack them at a later date. Unless there are Russian occupation troops in Ukrainian the Ukrainian leadership will never go along with the the offered terms and will rearm.
