CMV: Ukraine should just give up the rest of Donetsk and end the war with Russia
I'll be honest, this view rests on the assumption that the fate of the remaining 20% of Donetsk oblast under Ukraine's control is the main point of disagreement in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. However, based on Trump's statements that the peace deal is "95% done" and that there is one serious point of disagreement together with Zelensky's New Year address saying that a deal is "90% done" and that the main thing stopping it is Putin's insistence to annex all of Donbas, I think this is likely the situation. This is also how the media seems to be presenting it.
Now, here is why I think Ukraine should just give it up and end the war.
1. At this point, the area is more of an economic liability than an asset. Sure, before the war it was an important source of coal and natural gas for Ukraine, but nowadays it is completely bombed/destroyed and will likely take tens (if not hundreds) of billions of dollars in investment to reconstruct it. Russia already occupies most of the coal/natural gas hotspots in Donbass anyways. Any investment made by Ukraine to develop the land again will take decades to pay off, if it will ever pay off.

I’m not in love with my wife and I’m still here because of her money
I don’t love my wife. I’m not sure if I ever did.
We’ve been married for eight years. She makes most of the money. The house is hers. Our life works because of her income, and that’s the real reason I’m still married.
I cheat on her. I don’t tell myself it’s okay, but I also don’t stop. It’s never emotional. It’s just something I do because I feel empty and disconnected, and because I can.
She trusts me completely. That’s the part that keeps me up at night. She talks about our future like it’s a given, like we’re solid. I go along with it. I say the right things. I play my part.
People would say I should just leave. The truth is I’m scared. I don’t want to lose the comfort, the stability, the life I didn’t really earn on my own. I know that makes me selfish.
She deserves someone who actually loves her. I know that. I just don’t know if I’m brave enough to blow everything up and be honest.
I needed to say it somewhere, even if it’s here
It's Late Thread [ 07 January 26 ]
Right, so its mid week. Happy hump day and all that, but why aren't you in bed? Neighbours putting their bins out keeping you awake? Kids being little shits? Working the nightshift?
Come on in for a chat.
