We need to get the people commenting on Hacker News running the negotations.

Just imagine what could be achieved then......

There will be no war, if I will get Sudetenland

Russian defeat in Ukraine is equal to Russian defeat in first Chechnya war. Complete humiliation and Russians are going to try to conquer Ukraine again. And I have used word "defeat" on purpose, because anything else than a complete control of Ukrainian state is a defeat for Russia.

And what happens if trump+putin work a deal out and Ukraine says no? Who has Ukraine's back?
Since Ukrainians don't give up their territories without fight Trump could give him Alaska instead when they meet there. I'm certain he'll be also pleased with that and then could focus on peaceful recolonisation of those historically Russian territories instead of this costly war in Ukraine. After that we could confidently reward Trump with Nobel Peace Price

Ukraine should ask for its nukes back. Just in case the peace doesn’t hold and “some invader” needs their nose bloodied next time.
