Terms of Russian Surrender [116]
Whilst all the 7 points sound absolutely brilliant, they don't really solve the problem.
Russia after implementing points 1-7 would be humiliated, defeated and boiling with desire for revenge. Kind of like Weimar Republic on steroids (and Weimar Republics on steroids tend to turn into Third Reichs on steroids).
The solution - if it is to be permanent and fair - would have to encompass both Russia and Ukraine. So, I'd say:
1. Immediate cease fire followed by
honest, internationally supervised referenda in Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk. Permanent border treaty according to the outcome of the referenda.
2. Russia, as the aggressor, would have to pay some reparations.
3. Deep and thorough desovietisation and debanderisation in Russia and Ukraine. Soviet/communist and nazi/banderists symbols and ideologies would be outlawed, as they are both criminal, led to countless atrocities and should be allowed to die in shame in the garbage dump of history. All the politicians who supported either communist or banderist ideologies would be indefinitely deprived of the right to hold any office. All the Soviet and Banderist monuments are to be razed; stadiums, streets and squares renamed.
4. Królewiec would have to go back to Poland or be independent, not to become a source of conflict in the future.
5. Ukraine would become neutral and have its neutrality guaranteed by NATO and China.
6. Bilateral deep cooperation deals in economy, industry, science, education, medicine etc. would be signed between the EU and Russia making it extremely difficult (and extremely unprofitable) to go to war.
7. Firstborn sons of all the main EU politicians would be raised and study in Russia and vice versa. In case of war they would be beheaded.
OK, maybe I got a bit carried away with point 7 but you get my drift. Be strict, be fair, clean up history, make future war impossible - that's my idea.
