    Europe has a strong interest in keeping Russia from taking over Ukraine. Ukraine will only be the first European country to fall if Putin takes over Ukraine. There is a reason that Poland and others have been building up their military. Yes, the purported deal being reported “only” involves a surrender of land and not a complete takeover, but anyone with half a brain knows that there is no way that such a deal will satisfy Russia. It would be only a short-term “peace” to allow Russia to regroup to take another run at it. There is no way Ukraine would agree to this “deal” because it would only worsen their position. Better to fight without the U.S. than to roll over to allow Russia to regroup and strengthen.

      i don’t disagree and can’t wait to see Crimea returned to Ukraine. just don’t see it happening even with unlimited US support.
