IDK how much a new president is going to help Ukraine tho, if they agree to peace and give up russian-majority territory, there will almost certainly be a fascist coup.
I have no idea what happens when Putin gets got. From what I’ve heard, the alternatives are “conservatives LARPing as communists”, “fascists worse than putin”, and “liberals who will bring back the 90s”.
I’ve asked a few Russians what happens, they didn’t make any predictions.

Putin is a bit like the 4th contender for replacement, Bibi, in that he needs his war to keep going to protect his job.
Trump clearly thinks he needs one too.
I’m sure Zelenskyy would be happy to no longer be President but needs peace & a full electoral complement to justify calling an election.
Por que no los dos?

Porque no los tres?
Russia, Ukraine and US head figures all look a bit worse for wear.

Chinese foreign policy has been bad, but surely they wouldn’t do something that stupid.
Who cares about what happens after? The problem is the now.
How do you think we got Putin? Turns out immiserating an entire country to make some money can have longer term effects.
Maintaing the figure in power won’t solve anything either.
