not sure why you are facepalming, I live in a neighboring country to Ukraine and a lot of people here according to polls think that Ukraine should just give up Crimea and accept peace.
From the rest of the world's point of view, Ukraine had already accepted it's loss in 2014.
It was only when Russia went "well we'll have the rest of the country as well then!" that all the other countries decided to help out. Because Europe's been here before. Nobody stops after just one country. It's like Jaffa Cakes. You just keep going until there's none left.
what does that have to do with anything?
It means that giving up Crimea doesn't end in peace, it's just pushing the problem to the next time Russia decides to invade again.
"Guys, give up and get yourselves colonized, we're mildly inconvenienced!"
Peace in our time!
That's the frying pan saying "at least I'm not as bad as the fire!"
that makes no sense what you just wrote
