Why would you assume that diplomacy is on the table? Are you in the habit of appeasing people who break into your home, kill your parents or children, set up a tent in your living room, and are trying to break down your locked bathroom door to kill you, too?
Leader of invaded nation hopes leader of invading nation dies.

My Sister in Cher. It's not funny anymore. It's like watching an over the hill pornstar stay limp.
Funny at first, but after a while, even him trying is just sad. Flogging his log to no avail. Watching him beseech some higher power to make his mushroom rise like a cloud in the sky. It's just depressing.
Get help.
Fuck "negotiation". Russia can back off completely out of both Eastern Ukraine and the Crimea, gaining nothing they've taken since 2014, they can pay reparations to Ukraine for the unnecessary harm inflicted, and they can be happy that this'll be the end to it.
You can't trust Russia in negotiations. They violate treaties and their word means less than nothing at this point.
Zelensky could meet Putin and proceed to drown Putin in a toilet Zelensky had just filled with his own shit, and we'd applaud the good service Zelensky provided to the world. Nothing of value would be lost.

Dumb questions as always pretending to not understand people sympathetic only care about Russia's interests who can easily stop this war today and leave.
They're playing the game on Russian team.
Russia doesn't want to negotiate, trhey want to conguer and destroy Ukraine. Any ceasefire will be just that: a simple ceasefire Russia will use to regroup, resupply and re-engage. Only after Ukraine has been completely conquered will they have met their goals.
There's no scenario where Zelensky and Putin would meet face to face to discuss anything. Zelensky tried that with Putin, he met Putin hosted by Macron, he was elected as an appeaser.

There's been a couple of genocides, hundreds of thousands of dead and mutilated between then and now.
Any negotiations would be conducted through delegations of experts.
And by the way...the Ukrainians tried that too...that was a waste of time too.
