Your 2 links are 2 separate opinion pieces, the first of which states that peace is better than war for Ukraine, which, is obvious?

The problem is that Putin’s demands so far only set the stage for future war.

> which states that peace is better than war for Ukraine

No, what it is saying is that Ukraine has no hopes of defeating Russia and thus should accept that reality and settle, however unjust the terms, because otherwise it would lose more territory and / or soldiers, while its economy keeps getting crippled.
