and demands can change if the counter-demands are flexible, too.

Right now it looks as if the DPR is gaining ground, so maybe accepting the Russian offer to send peace-keepers is not such a bad offer for Ukraine right now. If they are willing to stop the destruction and the killing.

It looks to me, though, as if it were the US and not the Ukrainian government which is setting the tone. Demanding this, pointing out that, don't they have enough problems with the follow-up of previous peace-bombings, illegal invasions and occupations?
