A strongly militarised contingent of ultranationalist groups has been in a state of war against Eastern Ukraine. They’re more powerful than before, they have the backing of the state, and they’ve got a taste for blood.
If Putin pulled out tomorrow, the idea that they’d just demobilise and that they’re wouldn’t be any reprisal actions against the people in the Donbas region is just… unfathomably ignorant of recent history and the conditions in the Ukraine.
Imo there’s zero chance that if Putin pulled out that we’d see an end to the war. It would simply morph back into a civil war situation again.
This is also incredibly naive.
