Russia’s stated position is that a ceasefire is off the table, and Ukraine should have no NATO security guarantees as part of a peace deal.

Why would Russia change their position if they already have the knowledge of the US blaming Zelensky for starting the war and threatening to withhold aid?

They’ll be satisfied with continuing to turn Ukrainian towns into rubble for now.
You are probably correct.

Trump really fricked any chance for an equitable peace settlement, running his mouth.

Ukraine joining NATO was off the table long before Trump got in office. Ukraine joining NATO was off the table in year 2 of this war.

What if all parties agree that Russia keeps what it has stolen, but Ukraine gets to join NATO as an Article V guarantee that Russia will not attempt to take another bite at the Ukrainian apple in the future?


Keeping Ukraine out of NATO was the primary reason for the war. So, I think that is the last concession Russia would agree to.

Because something that Putin envisioned as a short, "splendid little war" did not go as planned. He was caught completely flatfooted, when his forces did not seize Kyiv in the first two weeks. By all appearances, he had no "Plan B," and got stuck in a meatgrinder, rather than losing face by pulling out completely.

I am still waiting for one of you to explain how (a) making a proposal to Putin of peace terms (b) somehow causes WW3.
Because it would be pointless to propose Ukraine joining NATO as part of a peace plan when Russia has already stated multiple times that they will under no circumstances accept any deal that includes the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO.
That certainly confirms that you think it would be pointless.

It does nothing to explain how presentation of such a proposal to Putin would ignite WW3, as has been claimed by at least three different posters above.
