Both Ukraine and Russia already had numerous talks during this war (for example they met in Belarus and Turkey), but it gave no result. As well as they had numerous meetings before this war. Both parties are stubborn, stupid and see only their position.
I am very much interested to find real economic situation in Russia right now. Media cant be trusted, forum is full of trolls and propaganda. So far I looks (based on how media serve us news) Russian economy is doing great, European economy is terrified, world economy - as usually, someone is earning, someone is loosing.
