Why would they want a demilitarized zone? That’s taking valuable land out of play just so that a violent, barbaric and frankly culturally repugnant nation (Russia) still wins even by no one winning. Put a line in the sand (ground), have Ukraine join NATO and use the land as normal. If Russia tries anything again then the US and it’s allies can finally step in and hopefully put an end to that barbarian encampment we call Russia.

I don’t know if you’re Ukrainian, or if you have ever been around Russians, but in a fight, as long as we both lose Russians see it as a win. Doesn't matter the cost, doesn’t matter the actual result.
