Military at the front wants talks with Russia, Ukrainian society is "exhausted"

Returning home from the US, Zelenskyy faces Russian advances, an exhausted society and the prospect of winter energy shortages

Once buoyed by hopes of liberating their lands, even soldiers at the front now voice a desire for negotiations with Russia to end the war. Yuriy, another commander on the eastern front who gave only his first name, says he fears the prospect of a “forever war”.

“I am for negotiations now,” he adds, expressing his concern that his son — also a soldier — could spend much of his life fighting and that his grandson might one day inherit an endless conflict.

    I absolutely love how this article is talking like its Russia who has refused to negotiate for peace and not the other way around, multiple times it tries to make it seem like the US and Ukraine are sueing for peace constantly

      That was the first thing I noticed too, there is a lot of blame and animosity thrown Russia’s way when we all know who is stopping peace talks from happening. I don’t get it, the US and EU want to keep fighting and supposedly “win” but they hesitate greatly in supplying the weapons for that. Not that I want them to but why doesn't the US allow Ukraine to use the missiles, if thats the only way to win and they truly want to, then why not sign off on it?
