Putin has an easy 'off ramp': withdraw all Russian soldiers and colonists from Ukraine.

Russians invading Ukraine are criminally insane.

In civilized society, the first thing we do with criminally insane people is stop them from doing harm to others. Only then do we go on and do the other things.

Defeat Russia. Worry about the post-war settlement later.

Fascinating. The area of the “special response regime” by the Russian fascist invaders closely matches the territory of the Ukrainian National Republic when it declared independence in 1918.

When Muscovy invaded Ukraine in 2014 it extended a century-long war.

The genocide of the Ukrainian people by the Russian fascist invaders particularly targets Ukrainians who are Crimean Tatars.

The government of Israel refuses to provide weapons to Ukraine.

Given the systematic genocide by Russians of the Ukrainian people (including Ukrainians who are Jews), Israel is openly taking the side of the Russian fascist state.

The Russian fascist state is carrying out brutal forced deportation of Ukrainians from their homes in temporarily-occupied Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Rational, evidence-based governments must declare the Russian regime to be a genocidal regime.

The Russian fascist invaders have invoked 'martial law' in the temporarily-occupied territories of Ukraine.

As the rashists are lawless this means there will be mass looting, eviction of Ukrainians from their homes, and forced mobilization of all men to become cannon fodder.

Unsurprisingly, the Russian horde invading Ukraine encounters problems by bringing criminals into their ranks.

Ukrainian military intelligence reports many mobilized prisoners, as soon as they receive weapons, abandon their units and attempt to return to Russian territory.
