If they give up land now, it gives Pootin permission to do it again and take even more land. Eventually they'll take all of the Ukraine.
Also, remember when dumpy mcshitpants said he'd have both wars over in the first 24 hours of office? how long has it been now?
I don't know how much it would encourage Putin to invade again.
It's not like he invaded part of Ukraine and was allowed to keep the annexed territory in the name of peace, then 8 years later invaded again, right?
That's exactly how they ended up in a situation. Putin took Crimea with basically no resistance. He just didn't count on Zelensky. Most other leaders would have given in to the pressure and let Putin overrun Ukraine (for a nice golden parachute).
Yeah, historically Ukrainian corruption while not as bad as in Russia was just as pervasive and Putin didn't really think Zelensky or any Ukrainian leadership would act on principles. Of course, it's an easy mistake to make when you have no principles and surround yourself with people who have no principles.
That same orange shit stain is days away from de facto declaring war on Venezuela. Disgusting.
Even if they were to not invade Ukraine again, Putin has been using war to distract the population from domestic problems, so he'd just pick another target after Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Africa, and Ukraine.
