Yeah.

Exactly.
You know, the leaders are killed.
They're mass arrests.
The Russian language is imposed on everybody.
Ukrainian is banned.
People who have Ukrainian flags or symbols can be arrested in the street and children are kidnapped and taken to Russia where they're trained to be in the Russian army.

So, you know, for Ukraine to I think, first of all, I think the Ukrainians would accept a ceasefire on current lines right now.
