Could you describe what the west should do instead, a little more specifically?

There isn't a war, according to one of the combatants, so "ending the war" is a too vague. What does "end the war" mean when one of the combatants claims that there is no war? I think it's better to discuss how to end one the nasty results, and I chose the deportations of children. Not for any particular reason, just because it's of the concrete things we all want to stop.

The Russians have deported a staggering number of children (almost as many children as live in Berlin), both from areas near the frontline and areas far from it. Could you describe what the west might to do to stop those deportations? Something more effective than delivering weapons?

Cease-fire and dialog to resolve conflicts. Willingness to make reasonable consetions and pow exchanges.

Ok, so US forces Ukraine to cease fire - thy just stand around and get killed by Russian daily Kalibr airstrikes. What did that solve exactly?

[Arnt]

Uhm, wouldn't the Ukrainians need a hundred thousand POWs first in order to exchange them for the deported children?

Deported children? You mean the same children that Saddam has killed back then and that the US used as a reason to bomb millions into oblivion... and that was a fake in the end? :)

No thanks, American lies and propaganda must be banned + people spreading it must be punished.

[trasz]

That war has already ended. US wasn't punished, because it's a superpower. There is no reason not to punish Russia.

He is likely talking about the genocide that Russian regularly commits against Ukraine. Russia has forcibly deported hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to Russia and that includes a large number of children.
