This is a daft oversimplification and not Russia's goal. Western Ukraine will become a separate territory, the rest will become a neutral or relatively Russia-friendly territory. This is almost inevitable at this point and dragging it on is only a threat to Ukrainian lives as Russia is trying to execute this plan as softly and cautiously as possible.

End the special military operation and instead declare war in Ukraine for their attack on Russian soldiers doing operation in Donbas

 @9D24R83from Grad Zagreb answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but do it in a peaceful way

 @98FGL6Xfrom Ontario answered…1yr1Y

No, and Russia should not interfere with any other post-Soviet states and stop the war immediately, only majority ethnic Russian areas such as Crimea, Small portions of Donetsk and Luhansk and Northern Kazakhstan hold any significance

 @97SWJ6Zfrom Ontario answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and reclaim all post-Soviet states and fully mobilize the military and economy to ensure the success of the special operation

Will foreign policy cost Biden the election?

When big questions about American foreign policy collide with an election, it’s rarely good news for a sitting president.Like many leaders before him, US President Joe Biden has had some of these questions thrust on him, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Some have their origins in past administrations, such as the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Most are a mixture of both, such as Israel’s retaliation against Gaza and the role of Iran.Many analysts trace the start of Biden’s foreign policy troubles to what is often described as the “botched” American withdrawal from Afghanistan. In isolation, and despite the entirely avoidable tragedy that has unfolded there, Afghanistan alone is unlikely to have made an electoral impact beyond the hand-wringing of some political pundits.As with Vietnam, today’s Democratic Party is riven by division over the Biden administration’s response to Gaza. In the Michigan state primary in February, more than 100,000 Democrats voted “uncommitted” as part of a co-ordinated campaign to send a message to Biden, demanding he do more to stop the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. In the 2020 election, Biden won Michigan by just over 150,000 votes.The risk for Biden is that he has not anticipated just how much his own foreign policy might undermine that message and the strength of his personal appeal.Polling suggests around two-thirds of Americans support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Biden’s political inability and personal unwillingness to distance the United States from Israel, and his administration’s ongoing refusal to put conditions on military aid, is breaking apart the loose voting coalition that brought him to power. He will need this coalition to hold, and to turn out to vote, if he is to win re-election.

US Will Send 60 "Military Advisors" To Ukraine

The U.S. is considering sending additional military advisers to the embassy in Kyiv, the latest show of American commitment to Ukraine as Russia appears to be gaining momentum in the two-year conflict.The advisers would not be in a combat role, but rather would advise and support the Ukrainian government and military, according to Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder.“Throughout this conflict, the DOD has reviewed and adjusted our presence in-country, as security conditions have evolved. Currently, we are considering sending several additional advisers to augment the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) at the Embassy,” Ryder said in a statement to POLITICO, noting that “personnel are subject to the same travel restrictions as all embassy employees.The ODC “performs a variety of advisory and support missions (non-combat), and while it is staffed exclusively by DOD personnel, it is embedded within the U.S. Embassy, under Chief of Mission authority like the rest of the Embassy,” Ryder added.Ryder declined to discuss specific numbers of personnel “for operational security and force protection reasons.”The additional troops will support logistics and oversight efforts for the weapons the U.S. is sending Ukraine, according to four U.S. officials and a person familiar with the plans, who were granted anonymity to speak about a sensitive topic.The new contingent will also help the Ukrainian military with weapons maintenance, according to one of the U.S. officials and the person familiar.A handful of U.S. troops have already deployed for short rotations attached to the embassy in Kyiv, two of the U.S. officials said, with the second official describing the numbers as “onesies and twosies.” Those personnel are helping with oversight and embassy security.It was not clear how many additional U.S. troops would ultimately be sent to Ukraine, but two of the U.S. officials said the number would be up to 60.
