The situation is increasingly hopeless for Ukraine, the West is preparing for possible peace negotiations. A concrete formula is already circulated, which would demand great concessions from Kiev.
Während die Lage auf dem Schlachtfeld für die ukrainische Armee immer aussichtsloser wirkt, bereitet sich der Westen auf mögliche Friedensverhandlungen vor. Unter Diplomaten kursiert bereits eine konkrete Formel, die Kiew große Zugeständnisse abverlangen würde.
Oh no, not the peace negotiations! Think about hundreds of thousands of lives that this will save, it's terrible! War is peace, or something. /s
On a more serious note - just this morning there was news about the biggest victory of Zelensky's regime yet - they stopped 40+ people trying to escape Ukraine. Each one of them paid 6-8k dollars for that (it's a lot of money in Ukraine, for many people it might have been their life savings). "Hopeless situation" for Ukraine is the best news there could be for Ukrainians.
For context: minimum salary in Ukraine as of 1st april 2024 is 8000 UAH which is around 227 USD. Average salary (with all the caveats about average salary included) is around 20000 UAH which is 488 USD.
