“A diplomatic solution…requires a radical change in the position of the Kyiv authorities,” said Konstantin Sivkov, a Moscow-based military analyst. “If the Kyiv authorities agree to the recognition of the federal structure of Ukraine, if the authorities agree to the equal status of the Russian language in Ukraine along with the Ukrainian language, then the whole problem in [Donbas] will be removed,” he said.
If that’s the central issue, there shouldn’t be any need for restarting the old Euro tradition of total warfare.

Even after Ukraine lost the heavily Russian Crimea, half of their population are still either ethnic Russians, or are primarily Russian speakers. So, giving the Russian language equal status seems like a doable thing. Also, since some form of federal structure is unavoidable anyway - makes sense to work it out rather than go to war. Those issues seem like natural consequences of having been virtually one country all throughout history. What did they all expect?

Listened to Tulsi Gabbard on Carlson’s show tonight. She thinks the situation is very serious - and may lead to a big war.
