There is a probably a kernal of truth in that, but i'd say a tad optimistic. Putin is going to flatten Ukraine before its all over and by the looks of things draw NATO into the conflict.

The chemical weapons thing could be the final straw I think 

Ukraine will be flattened too with or without them.

Whatever happens Putin loses
If he flattens Ukraine he has to occupy it. There is no brotherhood between Russians and Ukrainians now.

I thought China was the only country could end this - they could escalate it!

The US says China will face harsh "consequences" if it aids Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, according to US media reports.

China is in a hole. It expected a short war. The country is the world's largest importer of wheat and oil. The longer the war lasts, the higher prices will go. The economy is weakening..

Surely is an absolute embarrassment to Putin and Russia. They are supposed to be a world super power but can not manage to overtake Ukraine. Now they are having to ask for help from China. No doubt the Russian generals where telling Putin how quickly they could stream roll Ukraine as they are a far too afraid of him to be honest with him.

Putin has seriously messed this up and instead of showing the world how much of a superpower they are he has shown the world what they really are. A corrupt country relying on nukes.

   "The basic reality seems to me that Ukraine has lost Crimea and the eastern Donbas and Russia has lost Ukraine. Countless thousands of Ukrainians and Russians will die before any of the parties involved recognise this."

Russia gonna give back East Prussua? What make you think it part of Russia to start with.

Russia gonna give back East Prussua? What make you think it part of Russia to start with.

The obvious solution is to give it Ukraine as compensation.
