Nielsen believes that Russia will not accept any agreement that actually ‘only’ allows them to retain control of the occupied territories because the very fact that the rest of Ukraine is drifting irretrievably towards the EU means a lost war for Russia.
Logically, Russia should aim for a ceasefire - if it aims for one at all, as I wrote earlier - that will permanently destabilise Ukraine.
According to Nielsen, a disservice may be done here to Ukraine by some Western partners if they pursue a ceasefire at all costs without understanding Putin’s actual goals - and, for example, force the Zelenski government to reach an agreement under the law giving back some territories to Russia or containing an amnesty for perpetrators of Russian war crimes.
