Now that Putin openly declares that the Kremlin’s goal is to “liberate Russia’s historical lands,” we can dismiss the NATO-expansion lie promoted by Moscow and its apologists to falsely justify this war, and recognize it for what it is: age-old Russian imperialism.
Take a close look at these two photos.
Russia and Chechnya signed a peace treaty in 1996. Just three years later, in 1999, russia invaded Chechnya again.

Trump really could have ended the war in 24 hours. He could have issued an ultimatum to invader Russia to withdraw from Ukraine and carried it out. The war would now be over.
But Trump is an imbecile, a Russian asset and a traitor to the USA. That was never going to happen.
If Ukrainians wanted to capitulate, they could do it without Trump's help. But I very much doubt that they want to, and I'm pretty sure they will find ways not to.
