Surely the Suggestion of Professor Shabear (sp?) Ashkaf - Co-Author with Noam Chomsky of an Important Article/Tome Upon the War in Ukraine - That Allowing Secessionist Regions of Ukraine (like the Crimea) to Secede From Ukraine (and Russia, FOR THAT MATTER)...Could Solve the Highly-Fraught Dilemma Which is How to Bring Peace to That Deeply Troubled Region...Whilst Leaving BOTH SIDES (I.e. Russia and Ukraine) Without Egg Upon Their Respective Faces/Utter Humiliation & Shame...

Though surely thus evading a potential WW111 is worth examining every feasible avenue to achieve.
