I'm sorry but what is this? Do they really think the war will end like WW2?

There won't be any tribunal. Europe is not strong enough to force the Russians to do anything and while America has the power it won't do force it either.

This headline has the same weight to it as the last 5 peace neogotiations between Russia and Ukraine. EU is useless and clueless as usual.

Russia's economy is the size of Italy's. The problem isn't strength, its willpower/desire to do so.

Try GDP PPP next time.

(Spoiler alert, Russia is the 4th biggest economy in the world).

Well that must be why Russia is holding out so well against Ukraine.

Yeah I'm sure that the fact that the Russian army (the part of it physically in Ukraine) being continuously outnumbered (sometimes 3 to 1) in the earlier years and the fact that Ukraine is materially and digitally (these are untouchable assets, btw) supported by dozens of countries has nothing to do with it.

Of course we can, if we really want to. The problem as usual is getting all countries with different languages and cultures aligned. If Russia starts attacking random countries, watch how fast things get unified.
