I’m not arguing that it hasn’t been a proxy war. Of course, NATO doesn’t want a global superpower to take over another country. It sets a precedence. Just like they(we) wouldn’t want China to freely take over Taiwan.
Sabatoged peace talks? All the peace talks included Russia taking over at least some of Ukraine’s land. At which point, they slowly move their borders, encapsulating Ukraine piece by piece, year by year. Submitting to “Peace Talks” in which Russia is able to take some kind of Ukrainian land is submission to Russia.
Ukraine didn’t invade Russia. Russia should have simply never invaded Ukraine. Ukraine can fight this with whatever they can get from around the world.
Ukraine wants the conflict to end with its borders intact and the aggressors out of its territory. It has stated this multiple times, just like any other established country would. It shouldn’t have to give up Donbas just for Russia to cease fire for X years and then creep on forward.
If Ukraine truly wanted the conflict to end and just wanted to be bent over by Russia they would send up the white flag. Luckily they won’t; thankfully they’re fighting; hopefully they continue to push back. Just giving Russia free reign over invaded land sets a bad precedence.

Peace offer:
I receive: your land
You receive: I stop trying to kill you (for now)
I can’t believe the only reason they’re not accepting this deal so graciously offered by Russia is the US stopping them
