... in Ukraine, maybe get the peace commission to settle it all up, possibly give them some land that they claim.

He doesn't surrender or get the Russian armed forces bruised any further, and he might be able to negotiate some land concession.

Sort of the "stop me before I kill again" gambit. And then let the lawyers sort it out.

Personally, I think he should make a big parade out of Ukraine, declaring victory and the elimination of all vestiges of Nazis in Ukraine. And let the lawyers sort it out.

We don't know if this was a renegade Russian commander, a purposeful provocation, a technical glitch. KAL 007 had over 200 victims, including a US Congressman. Russians.
