[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am having trouble seeing an ending to this conflict other than for Ukraine to agree to maintain neutrality in the future -- that is, to stay outside of NATO.

I admire Zelensky's bravery. But I wonder if, in the end, he will simply have to agree to roughly the same deal he could have obtained prior to the invasion.

It isn't just Putin who doesn't want Ukraine in NATO -- according to William Burns, it is virtually the entire Russian government.[/quote]

No, PP's correct on NATO. Wrong on all other counts. Putin was always going to invade Ukraine - he believed false intelligence that it would roll over. It didn't, and in the process, Russia has lost all the economic, strategic and reputational gains it had made since the fall of the USSR. Worse, it may indeed, as other PPs explained, be owned by China if China decides to "help".

Ukraine will never be part of NATO in the foreseeable future. That will definitely be part of the face-saving deal struck with Putin. But it will be part of the EU, and it will have won the hearts and mind of the entire free world. 
The price is staggering in terms of lives, suffering and sheer destruction. The EU and the USA will spend billions to rebuild. And all they spend will still be NOTHING compared to the losses of Russia over the next decades.
