Ukranians - Is There a Diplomatic Solution to This Crisis?

Monsin: Russia is trying to increase ukraine's leverage for any very far away diplomatic solution, or an attempt to try and strike one. A retake herson is one way to kind of lift this blockade that the russians have imposed. I mean, russian sa propagandas have been very clear, famine, starvation, hunger, is their way to force the west to lift sanctions. And i think the west responds by saying don't worry about sanctions relief; we'll lift the blockade ourselves through military means.
