I am not sure why they are still dangling the EU membership in front of Ukraine, knowing full well that Ukraine is nowhere ready to join the EU. And telling nationalist Ukraine to give up territory is like red rag for a bull. I am no longer on Twitter but I can imagine the indignation in Tweets from Ukrainian nationalists. Their ideology is all or nothing and war with the Moskali.
Even though, Russia’s demands are totally acceptable from liberal human rights positions. Rights for Russian speakers, stop the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, denazification, that is do away with radical nationalism, and keep the military on the low. The loss of territories will deprive Ukraine from the most economically productive lands but also the most Russified. And adopting liberal values of tolerance and ditching nationalism will calm things down for many decades to come. Small army will mean Ukraine could dedicate funds to better the lives of people instead.
But I am a dreamer and my visions might sound like an utopia.
