Oh my god…imagine they get Crimea back, AND end up keeping Kursk! Get fucked, putin!
Fun thought experiment, but yeah there is no way it ever happens. The simplest reason is that as soon as Ukraine manages to restore full control over its own territory, they will race to join Nato and the EU. Both of which would not accept Ukraine while holding russian land.
agree, but could they let that area form its own new nation as a buffer state?
With what army??? I’m hearing reports that russia is running out of modern tanks, and losing them faster than they can build them.
