Ukraine surrenders, the war stops, and the already pro-Russian seperatist regions get to go where they want to go. The pro-Kiev regions of Ukraine stay with Ukraine, and no more killings on either side will happen.
It isn’t imperialism, Russia is intervening on behalf of the seperatists in Donetsk and Luhansk that have been fighting Kiev for a decade. Kiev is losing, they do not get to dictate terms, just try to negotiate for better. It’s in Ukraine’s interest to try to negotiate now, rather than continue to lose what bargaining chips they have through millitary defeat.
Donetsk and Luhansk broke away from Kiev, and requested Russian support, then voted to join Russia. Kiev has been at war with Donetsk and Luhansk for over a decade, and are majority pro-Russian. Imperialism isn’t sinply annexing territory.
Sure, imperialist countries do that too, but Russia isn’t an imperialist country. It holds a tiny amount of global financial capital compared to the west, has no colonies nor neocolonies, and does not function by exporting capital to super-exploit the global south.
People correctly attack imperialist countries for plundering the global south, setting up comprador regimes, bombing and destroying anyone that tries to go against that. Russia doesn’t do that, though. Russia is sticking to the areas in Ukraine that seceded and voted to join Russia, the Donbass region, after a decade of Kiev murdering ethnic Russians in said region. Russia isn’t plundering the global south because it can’t, and isn’t in a position to do so.

It’s a generous deal, surrender and become a subjugated buffer state. Gotta love imperialism

Hah yeah right

Invading, annexing, creating buffer states, that’s pretty much the typical shit imperilaist countries do

Russia of course does what people complain about imperialist countries do, but you see, Russia is too poor to count. It’s just sparkling hostility.
