There's no such thing as peace talks in this war. Russia wants it all, any Ukrainian who live in Ukraine will be forced into assimilation and I doubt they all want that.

Why? What on Earth could be a reason for doubting people would prefer to live rather than die?? It's literally written right here, in the article, from a western media outlet, that people don't want to fight and avoid it AT ALL COST, people would rather die trying to escape the country to the freedom than die for Zelensky's regime, and there are people on the frontlines just because Zelensky's murderous regime is forcing people to be there, mostly by kidnapping (busifying) them... And you are still "doubting"...

Your friends are maybe spineless cowards I don't know

Yeah yeah yeah, I've heard that before... "If you don't want to fight for MY interests than YOU are a coward". Doesn't work on anyone with at least half a brain, sorry :)
