Maybe Zelenskyy should just let Vlad the Mad have his damn Donbas, and be done with it.

I remember a college professor, back in the day, 1970 or so . . . he said the Russians have always yearned for, dreamed of, and fought for . . . a warm water port.

Vlad destroyed Mariupol anyway. Maybe the Ukrainians should just let Vlad put his armys in there to reconstruct Mariupal and then be done with it.

And the Ukrainians keep Odesa as a consolation prize.
