    There’s more to it than that - what he is offering in exchange for him stepping down will guarantee that Russia will stop fucking them. Acceptance into NATO would have stopped Russian aggression from the start. He’s been asking for it almost from the beginning for exactly this reason. I don’t believe it will happen, so I don’t believe he will be stepping down. My opinion is that it’s one of that the statement was meant more defiantly and deliberately: I will step down if and when I can be assured of future peace for my country.

    IIRC he didn’t even really wanna be President. So this is prolly a win/win for him in a lot of ways if him just stepping down is able to get Ukraine into NATO.

    No way they’re gonna give up half the mineral rights in Ukraine. It just plain won’t happen.

      It’s only a win/win if he believes his country will be in good hands because unlike Trump he actually gives a shit about his country

      Just give up the mineral rights to all minerals in the Donbas. Tell Trump: “You get as many minerals as your weapons help retake. If Russia is ceded the entirety of the Donbas, you get nothing.”
