the only reason Russia accepts peace is because they fear losing everything, which is what they face now, the problem then though is it leaves Putin's personal position in desperate straits as he and his allies will be blamed, it also leaves a massively stronger Ukraine on their borders, utterly destroys their reputation with their global allies, consigns them forever to China's b**ch status, Europe never relies on them for energy again even if they go back to buying gas and they become the laughing stock of the world, which for Russia is the worst fate of all
