Political impacts of Ukraine war

[Brad Sallows]

Most wars have some exchange of land when it's all over. I haven’t read the plan, so no idea what else is there. Just what the news has reported

Trading land for peace to get out of a long slow bleed might be worthwhile, but not if its only a temporary cessation of hostilities together with a bunch of conditions which have the practical effect of keeping Ukraine weak.

Escalate and win.
Trade land for peace and immediate NATO membership for Ukraine.
Do just enough to keep the war going.
Trade land for a delay before Russia takes the next bite.

Either the first or second is reasonable, but not the third or fourth.
