Dynamic past
Would you say that large-scale sanctions would be a firmly worded wake-up call that changes the dynamic? Some fixate on those peace talks and how they will look and what it will be like at that event by thinking of past successful events. Maybe they should be held in Sweden in this particular time. The Helsinki Final Act in 1975 was a conference agreement that was absolutely monumental, being remembered in history far beyond the life time of any member of government of that time. It was sometimes thought to have paved the way to really clearing up the Cold War for good. The USA and the (then) USSR closed the deal on a solid agreement that cleared the air of some of the policy issues of the time.
The peace talks could be held in a neutral 3rd party location which is near the conflict but isn't directly involved per se, such as the Czech Republic. Some now consider that Russia Ukraine peace talks arranged by the USA and the EU should be Belarus. What do you think? I fear that the peace talks will drag on for too long and will be about making sure everybody says what they want to say. What's your strategy? Where do you think talks should be held? How can I help you make money? Where is a good conversation spot? How do you personally make those decisions? How do you solve faith matters? It would seem like at a minimum the peace talks should feature the 2 combatants and the US/EU as a 3rd party. An unfair peace agreement can also be remembered in a bad way
