How would that actually work in the face of a well-armed, highly-organized and vengeful Ukrainian military? Zelensky will not give an inch as long as he has that hand to play. To do so would be to write his own death sentence.

The author seems to think, after two months of an unjust, illegal, criminal and mostly losing (from the Russian POV) war, the key players in the West and Ukraine are just a pathetic Russian propaganda exercise away from becoming bored and cowardly.

Bullshit.
