But no negotiator would so this. Admitting urgency grants to the other side the easy move of dragging their feet to get concessions. And these are already on offer!

Hard to believe but there's a section of America that chuckles and chortles over the predicament the Ukraine is in. They'll swallow the whole Putin blaming it on the victim. Russia is infected with a "lost greatness, lost empire" mood that Putin appeals to for his war.
