Can war in Ukraine end by giving Ukrainians US and Russian citizenship?


Russia would return the land it took from Ukraine, and all Ukrainians would become triple citizens.

They would then have the option to stay in Ukraine, move to Russia, or move to the US.

Would this end the war in Ukraine?

Putin wants the land and the people (due to Russia’s catastrophic demographics situation). How does citizenship solve for this?

Imagine that Russia had annexed half of Alaska, was fighting the US for control of the other half, and was talking about its historical connections to much of the US pacific coast down to Fort Ross, California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Ross,_California

If someone proposed to the US that all US citizens could get Russian and Spanish citizenship, would the US response be to ignore this; to laugh at this; or to be angry that this was suggested, followed by "oh god send guns, the Russians I can see them! Why won't you help us, you signed a treaty to guarantee our borders that's the only reason we agreed to give up our nukes!"

Sadly no. Russia already controls the important (rich) coastal lands and the single mineral mining area now. There is no reason for him to turn anything over without a complete invasion from the USA which is not in the country's interests.

The Ukraine lost several years ago and has no chance of winning at this point as the death toll on there side is not only larger but more devastating.

The thing you need to worry about is the next step, regaining Georgia's oil reserves.
