Why crushed? The end of EVERY was has been "seat and talk" except for total wars. Are you suggesting this one has to be a total war (a.k.a. total annihilation)?
What Zelenki AND Putin have to do is talk. Either that or fight until all Ukrainians or Russians are dead.
I'd suggest taking a flight overseas the day after the elections, booked prior to it. If Trump losses, you can use it to celebrate it. If he wins... well, you can ask for asylum on arrival.
Why move the batteries instead of "moving" the electrons? You generate the electricity anywhere you want and use Therese nice cables that happen to be everywhere.
Those are images made from the data recovered from their fossils. I guess they didn't look like that at all. If the same process was done with human skeletons we'd have a very good laugh.
Easy: "You, the government, want me to show you all my data? Right after you show me (and everyone else) all your documents, including the "top secret" ones. Because you haven't done anything wrong, right?"
The answer (I think) it's not UBI, cooperatives OR more democracy. It's all this at once and even more.
UBI would mean everyone has a meal under a roof and has no fear of starting a business. Cooperatives put the value of the work in the hands of the worker. Free public universal healthcare and education systems with public affordable/free housing and public supermarkets makes everyone safer.
Even if they disagree 100%, the only solution is talking. The other "solution" is total war.
And if they talk MAYBE they can arrange a deal to cease fire. Not peace. Not winning the war. Just cease fire and talk.
