Let’s not try that, @elonmusk. The people of Donbas & Crimea made their decision in 1991, when Ukrainians from those areas & all others voted freely & unanimously to be in Ukraine. There’s not been any popular separatist sentiment since, only Russia’s attempt to tear UA apart.
Let’s try this then: the will of the people who live in the Donbas & Crimea should decide whether they’re part of Russia or Ukraine

Elon Musk is wildly popular in Ukraine and Ukrainians have praised him for support during the war, especially for his Starlink systems. But these awful "peace" ideas will not sit well with Ukrainians.
Ukraine-Russia Peace:
- Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
- Water supply to Crimea assured.
- Ukraine remains neutral.
