If Ukraine leadership was sane and/or not USA puppet they would just agree on the first proposition. FFS Donbas didn't even wanted independence, just autonomy to protect their culture and economy.

Also, post WW2 resettlements in the eastern Europe are proven more and more correct. Imagine the same US meddling as in Ukraine but multiply it by Poles, Belerussians, Germans and whomever else.

Many just wanted the sniping, shelling, and pogroms to stop. Ukraine Nazi govt has known exactly what it is doing.
