Putin goes on to say

”Our proposal is not to freeze the conflict, like how the west wants it, but to end it. I repeat, this is not to freeze the conflict, but for its final completion.”

    Has the victorious army ever just given up and returned to its land without any wins or concessions? Has this ever happened in history? Amazing that libs want Putin to just forfeit when he’s one move away from checkmate, like why would he do that?

      Yes, and actually even worse, they allied with the enemy they nearly completely defeated, and it was unfortunately Russian army, in 1762. In retrospect, that move by Peter III was one of the worst moronic mistakes in history of Europe which consequences are still being felt. Hope Russia remembers that.
