Just like when Hitler let Allied troops be extracted from Dunkirk.
I just love how the media is uncritically repeating Nazi talking points. And this is the same soldier that the MSM has been showing giving updates on Mariupol. Note how he has the Azov patch on his chest covered. Previously he'd had it out in the open. Of course its all moot when there's another soldier right next to him proudly wearing their Azov patch on their sleeve.
Putin started this war... But to end it zelensky could simply give up things he already lost. Acknowledge DPR and LPR two regions largely out of ukr control already and it'd basically end. But now gotta get many killed for images
