Hey we've got a military genius over here! Yes you're right, the way wars are negotiated is that the winning side completely gives up all terrain because we think they're stupid meanies and then they can ask for a peace pretty please.

Okay I just talked to Putin and he said they weren't going to leave and then negotiate, he called me stupid for suggesting it and asked me if I lived in fantasy land.
To be fair, that would have been the first time I'm history a peace deal was negotiated like that.
