Either Ukraine collapses, Russia collapses, or Zelensky is deposed. Those are the only ways out of this quagmire.
Putin isn’t exactly a spring chicken anymore either.
Yeah but Putin dying is like the tiniest shade of gray below “Russia Collapses” at this point.
Zelensky is one of the worlds most popular leaders. There’s no way he’s getting “deposed” unless Russia manages to assassinate him.
Is he? I keep hearing he’d lose the election if he held one.

In February 2023, over 90 percent of the Ukrainian population approved of the activities of Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the president of the country. The approval rating was at approximately the same level as in June 2022. Zelenskyy’s popularity within the country was significantly higher in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, than in 2021

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s approval rating in Ukraine remains near the record highs set shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country began in February 2022, new data from Gallup shows.
Given that Russia has taken all of the ethnic Russians out of Ukrainian territory, the vote is concentrating with the right wing Euromaidan contingent.
One of lemmy.world’s most popular leaders
You give the CIA too little credit. Zelensky gets assassinated the minute he gets cold feet and tries to break from the USA defined line.
Quagmire wouldn’t help, Joe Swanson though could solve this in a week.
