The only things that I feel Ukraine cannot back down on are
* Reducing its military to an unreasonable size (for example, a cap on their military to only 1 Million soldiers isn’t a big deal… a cap to 100,000 soldiers is)
* Giving up any more territory (specifically in the Donbas). Existing territory is heavily fortified. Giving it up is basically opening up a giant gap in the defenses which incentivizes Russia to just attack again.
* Giving up political sovereignty

I mean who is he to decide what other countries should do? Pretentious guy who pretends our money, weapon and also to dictate our foreign policy?

Compromise is not a leading negotiation tactic for either DBT/ADMIN47 or the current regime in Russia. Zalensky knows that fully, but hopes that if he can repeat this enough ( compomise=no one gets everything they want), maybe other World Leaders will somehow convince leadership in the USA and Russia to reconsider tactics. Simply, the current leaders want to be bought, and they want Ukrania to pay them terms thet set to buy peace. Strange how an outside agent and the villain want payments, just like in a 19th-century melodrama. This is not diplomacy at work, it’s simply „pay up or receive the consequences.“““ This situation remains power and threats, not diplomacy.

You do not negotiate with terrorists, you do not appease military aggression. Do not compromise anything.

America is already compromised.

There is no need for Ukraine to compromise. They should demand the following:
1. Putin steps down
2. Russia returns to pre-2014 borders
3. Russia gives up its nuclear weapons
Only then should Ukraine stop fighting.
Russia is weak right now. If pressure is released, they will recover and come back stronger.

This is between Russia and Ukraine. Not really sure what EU and US have to do with it. It’s really up to the parties at war to figure out when they want to stop.

Calling for realistic negotiations, stressing both compromise and sovereignty is delicate but essential.

Seems to be telling us that America is making additional demands for their cut of the settlement then, without disclosing what’s being said.
I’ve never heard of an intermediary whose job it is to broker deal being asked to compromise their demands before

I mean… yeah. This is 100% true.
