Both sides have suffered losses, but Ukraine has borne the greater burden. From my stand point the Ukrainian haven't just lost soldiers; they have also lost countless civilians, immigrants, homes, land, and families. While the president may have his reasons for his speech, if it is intended as a mechanism to end the war, its effectiveness remains uncertain.
Bringing to account what effect damage the war has caused should ignite regrets why why war in the first place and then take a seat back and get questioned about accepting for dominance and testing power possessions while lives and properties are being lost in the process.
I don't know the intention of the Ukraine president towards his emphasis on the move to end the war but hope it get to an end because Russia as what defensive grounds it has acquired long ago will not hands up when Ukraine is still pulling the trigger. So in plus and minus it would be a good decision of him taking the bold step to end the war.
However, submission is not weakness which I know. The case of this war does not only affects the both region but has also brought about global economy inflation.
