Unlikely, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility. If Russia expected this to be fait accompli by now and nowhere near the level of western support Ukraine is getting, there's a slim chance that they'll try and use the peace talks to back out gracefully if possible. Something like offering to withdraw if Ukraine will recognize the independence of the breakaway regions in Donetsk and Luhansk as protecting them was Russia's ostensible reason for invading, with maybe recognizing Russia's ownership of Crimea thrown in as well. Ukraine would be hard pressed to refuse to let Russia have areas they already didn't control anyways if it means Ukraine not continuing to get buttfucked by war. The big trick would be that Russia would also need the latest sanctions to be reversed, and that's not something that Ukraine can do.Imagine if these peace talks turn out to be legitimate and not just a smokescreen for the incoming involvement of Belarus, now that will be a plot twist.![]()
