Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

the sceptic in me says this is just a Trump/Putin plan/ploy to lift sanctions…

No way are Russia accepting this plan without something in return… and Trump will probably agree that they should get something in return so will lift sanctions on their energy industry which will give them an influx of much needed cash.

Why do you say that? I got the impression Ukrainian forces were not caught unaware and wiped out all 80 odd Orcs that exited the pipe with the remaining 20 suffocating.

Yeah definitely seems a lot better than we were led to believe.

Is the pause on aid and intel actually lifted now?

Asking Putin to stop attacking Ukraine ?!

Can’t believe nobody thought of this before !

OR…Trump will hit Putin with more sanctions when Russia breaks the ceasefire as they inevitably will

We are all like John Snow. We know nothing about what is going to happen! I doubt Trump knows either.

Very good timelapse of the war.

I'm sick that Trump has caused Ukraine to lose Kursk which would have taken so much resources from Russia to retake but I'm glad to see Ukraine are leaving without massive losses.

Good that supplies have already resumed back into Ukraine. Hopefully Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire and hopefully the Ukrainians can keep the push back going. Best case scenario Trump feels insulted and he ups the support. I'm not holding my breath.

Russia are hardly going to agree to something that will simply buy Ukraine time to gather and rearm and allow the west to continue pouring equipment into the place. They already said as much.

Which is not going to be helped by stupid comments from vdL how Europe must turn Ukraine into an 'iron hedgehog'.

She and the rest of our glorious leaders backed themselves into a corner with their non-stop war rhetoric and now all they seem able to do is double down. Since that Russia-is-going-to-invade-us-tomorrow line is clearly nonsense I must assume they really want to go all the way. What else would you need 800 billions of war machinery for and pump us full with war propaganda 24/7?

And dont give me that nonsense of Russia taking us all on and we're just defending ourselves. It's either the next big neoliberal daylight robbery scam or else they are actually preparing for an attack.
Even if it's 'just' the former it really shows how these people should be nowhere near any position of power. Prison is where they belong.
I have no doubt they would be happy enough to lead us all into a war. The signs for preparation were there for years and this is just the logical follow through really.

In fact what I think of Ursula I cant say here 'cos it would probably get me a ban. She is pure evil that woman. All I will say is just look at her and listen to her and tell me we're the good guys. I bet you can't.

Mod Edit: Warned for trolling

Trump will lose interest in this like he has in Gaza. He just moves on to the next topical story.

Let’s hope Ukraine can keep it relevant.

I'd agree that that's what they were trying to do but it's been obvious for decades that the US are not a reliable allies.

They get along great with you as long as you have the same views as them and tow the American line but once you veer away they come down on you like a ton of bricks. It can been seen whenever a country criticises Israel, the US would be reprimanding them. Same thing if you had differing views on the middle east.

It was always dangerous betting the house on a country that's only on your side when you're 100% on theirs. This was going on long before Trump. It's just on steroids at the moment.

This agreement would be well negotiated before it's on the news ,expect back and forth for a while, Ukraine will give the occupied territory, but probably with a caveat, that future elections will decide their fate ,obviously it won't, but it looks good on the t.v.either way hopefully it stops the war and all men and women can return to their families.

hopefully it stops the war and all men and women can return to their families.

That's the last thing Putin wants. If all his men (precious few women involved) return to their families, they'll never sign up for a Special Military Operation again, and he won't be able to defend his new stable border with North Koreans and a few die-hard patriots.

We should learn that lesson and source our military equipment from Europe. Especially the Saab Gripen.
