You won’t find too many men so bellicose that they don’t want an end to war in the form of the enemy surrendering. In theory, that’s what wars are trying to do.

Diplomacy is always an option, even when it means saying “This is what you have to do, and it is not negotiable.” Appeasement, OTOH, is doomed to failure from the start and should die in a fire.

Ukraine plans to open new embassies in 10 African countries, its president has announced, with the aim of increasing Kyiv’s presence in Africa and strengthening trade ties.
Speaking at a conference of Ukrainian ambassadors, Volodymyr Zelenskiy said:
We are already rebooting relations with dozens of African countries. Next year, we have to strengthen them. Ten countries have already been designated in Africa where new embassies of Ukraine will be opened.
There are also plans to develop a “Ukraine-Africa trade house” with offices in the capitals of “the most promising countries” on the African continent, he added.
Zelenskiy continued:
In addition to the existing representation of Ukraine in 10 African countries, together with new embassies and trading houses, we should achieve representation in 30 countries of the African continent.
Regular readers of this thread may recall that support for Russia is strong in Africa, at least on social media. Russia portrays itself as anti-imperialist and takes the credit for the Soviet Union helping anti-colonial movements and educating Africans at Soviet universities.
