A recent Ukrainian poll found, iirc, that a solid 15% of Ukrainian veterans stated that they would take up arms to oppose any peace that saw a reduction in Ukraine's pre-1991 borders. Ukraine's soccer hooligan/neo-nazi element is as vibrant as ever, and it's leadership have openly threatened Zelensky's life if he cuts a deal. There is video of Zelensky personally pleading with the "officers" of a neo-nazi battalion to withdraw their heavy weapons in accordance with the Minsk requirements, and they refuse to do so. The culprits of the Odessa massacre were never brought to justice, though they are known, and they continue to poison Ukrainian politics and the military to this day. It matters little what Zelensky agrees to, or not, in terms of negotiations, I think, his days are numbered and he may not get out alive to enjoy his yacht and foreign properties if the nazis have anything to say about it.
