There are people out there who want to avoid the war by all costs and so they will give in to any and every demand of the aggressor to avoid it.

Russian propaganda proposes partitioning of Ukraine. Sometimes they present Ukraine as small buffer after its western part is annexed by Poland as their pre-WW II territories and eastern part as being ethnically russian anyway. Regrettably radical polish right is dumb enough to pick this up and call for cooperation with Russia

But people forget that Russia is a mafia state and this war is little about Ukraine for them and all about demonstratibg their status as local superpower to internal population, to regain popular support for the govt.
