The war could have been over within days.

The Russians agreed ta stop their advance through Kiev, as a sign of good faith after the cuckrainian negotiator signed a "document of agreement" in April of 2022. The agreement was that the contested territories would be allowed to become Russian, with a period of time for anyone not wanting ta become Russian ta relocate.

The Russians withdrew from Kiev.

The US told Gaylensky he couldn't go forward with the agreement.

Russia's been kickin ass ever since, and won't be stopping at the territorial limits of the initial negotiated agreement.
