Peace Talks Today2 Mar 2022 13:02
It does look like Ukraine will ultimately have to sign some kind of irrevocable agreement to not join NATO which NATO will have to ratify to see the tanks rolling back to Russia.
They won't like agreeing that, as it's bowing down to bullying by Putin, but diplomacy should hopefully see a deal done.
Putin will be able to claim some kind of victory over the west and save face back home.
Mainland Europe will get its new shiny Gas pipe laid into Germany.
Ukraine will receive its 'right to exist' recognised by Russia for as long as it remains ring-fenced from ever joining NATO (US).
I can't see them all shaking hands on this today, but if an agreement in principle is reached subject to various conditions etc hopefully a way forward can be found.
I think it's notable that China has broken its silence and called for a ceasefire.
