I don’t see avenue for negotiations. Any attempts before was answered with “How dare you?!” and “This cannot stand!”. How do you think it was going to be now, after invasion? One reason I was thinking invasion is not possible was that. Complete break up of any cooperative relationship. But maybe Russia looks at it a bit differently: it is already pretty much completely broken, so what’s the point? (No excuse for shooting war though—I have no idea why that needed to happen)
