How should west respond to potential (likely) Russian invasion of Ukraine?

A hole? No. Just immersed in Godi media.

You sayin’ his brain’s been Modi-fied?

Russia has violated every peace agreement with Ukraine that it has signed. Ukraine would be crazy to sign any treaty with Russia that forced it to de-arm and give up defensive arms and strategic locations. Without peace keeping troops and massive amounts of defensive arms; Russia will invade again.

Nothing will be forced on Ukraine. That is Trump style. To Zelenskyy - 'Stop war or we don't send supplies'. To Putin - "Stop war or we increase sanctions'. Modi style is diplomacy. He is touch with Putin as well as Zelenskyy. He has consulted European leaders Macron, perhaps Germany too (Foreign Minister Jaishankar will be there on September 10-12. German Foreign Minister Wadephull was in India last week). I think both Russia and Ukraine have had enough. Let us see how it develops.

The only country benefiting from the war is Russia gaining land.

It is not certain that Russia will hold to all land that is under its control. It is your guess and may not necessarily be Putin's plan. Like I said, depends upon the type of peace agreement is signed.

I cannot recall any instance of Russian forces (incl. USSR) that have willingly returned terriority. If they step on it once they consider it theirs for perpituity.

Sorry Amigo, but I don't think that any peace treaty signed by Putin is worth a hill billy's butt. Worthless. The only thing that Russia understands is strength. I think that the only thing that will prevent future war is for Ukraine to become like a very dangerous steel porcupine. Become so strongly defensive, that Russia won't attack.
