Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

Hopefully this Finlandization will not go the same way it went for Finland, which lost quite a few important pieces of land in the process.

That reads like a satire, like an Onion article for Foreign Affairs readers.  Finlandization? FFS.

Ukraine offering to become a Finland was a valid idea before the invasion. But it's time has likely gone unless Ukraine gets crazy concessions that Russia just won't be accepting

Nato yes, EU no. Postponing NATO membership is basically acknowledging that Russia will attack again sometime in rge future and you don't want to deal with it.

Seems a completely unrealistic proposal considering Russian aggression. In the status quo before 2014 it was maybe an option. Now I don't see it. It is wishful thinking by these unnamed government sources as it would mean the topic goes away without Germany doing much...

Anyway, Olaf Scholz' government and he himself will not be around anymore the latest by September 2025, possibly earlier as it looks like the German government coalition will dissolve soon.
