And determine where those lines will be drawn for the next 100 years."

Hey Tim, that was called the Minsk Agreements that Zelensky failed to fulfil. The Agreements envisaged referenda in the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics - where the people would likely vote for autonomous constitutional arrangements, but remain within the territorial integrity of Ukraine!
